The McLovin' House: Where It All Began
Kickstarting our tour is the humble abode of Fogell, aka McLovin', played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The house, located at 118-14 145th Avenue, Jamaica, Queens, is where our beloved fake ID-haver lived with his parents. This suburban home might look ordinary, but it holds a special place in our hearts.
The Party Pad: Seth's Dream Come True
No "Superbad" tour would be complete without visiting the epicenter of the movie's chaos - the party house! The exterior shots of this lavish pad were filmed at 121-15 71st Road, Forest Hills, Queens. Unfortunately, you can't party inside as it's a private residence, but feel free to admire the exterior and imagine Seth's (Jonah Hill) wildest dreams coming true.
Eagle's Landing Middle School: Where It All Went Down
The school where Seth, Evan (Michael Cera), and their friends spent their days scheming and causing chaos is actually Midwood High School located at 2929 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn. The exterior shots were filmed here, but the interior scenes were shot on a soundstage due to the school's busy schedule.
