Where was The Wraith filmed?

The uber-successful film captured a fictional town called Brooks, AZ, which was doubled by the Freeman Road that leads up to Tucson, Arizona. According to The Location Scout, the Big Kay's burger drive-in that earned a seven-wonder like status when it appeared in the film was formerly a pizza joint. Many tourists had ventured all the way to Arizona to visit the restaurant but the tall building was no longer there, which made many fans question whether it was specifically built for the film. No confirmation on the same has been given yet. Other locations like the nearby cellphone tower and the motel right opposite the burger drive-in, which was spotted in the film as well, still exist and can be visited for old-times sake.

Keri's house in the film is located at 2128 East 5th Street and to this date looks exactly the same. The most popular location of the lot is the world's largest airplane graveyard at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, which has been featured in many other famous movies as well, including Top Gun, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Can't Buy Me Love. The lake scenes where the troop gathered around for swimming and recreational activities were shot at the Sabino Canyon Recreational Area near Sabino Lake Dam northeast of Tucson. That area is still regularly visited by fans of the movie.
