Los Angeles , near Echo Park. It is inAngelino Heights , one of the older neighborhoods of Los Angeles. It consists of Victorian-era houses, some of which are used for popular movies and television shows, as they have a quality that brings uniqueness to the screen. One of these residences served as the house used for the TV show "Charmed ", used in the show as a San Francisco Victorian residence, and because of the picturesque nature of the neighborhood, it has served as the backdrop for countless motion pictures from the earliest days of cinema to the present. An example of another television show is "Journeyman", and that neighborhood was also used inMichael Jackson 's "Thriller" music video.History
