X-FILES FILMING LOCATIONS (THEN AND NOW)

I took a tour of some recognizable X-Files filming locations around the Vancouver area. The first five seasons of The X-Files were filmed and produced in Vancouver, British Columbia, before eventually moving to Los Angeles. The series later returned to Vancouver to film The X-Files: I Want to Believe as well as the tenth and eleventh seasons of the series.
