‘Closet Monster‘ is a 2015 LGBTQ + drama film following the life of a young gay man named Oscar Madly. With painful memories of childhood still lingering in his mind ten years later, Oscar can no longer wait to get out of his hometown and finally get out of his head at the same time. However, when he meets Wilder at a hardware store, his sexual feelings begin to fill but also severe abdominal pains that serve as a reminder of her trauma.
The low black voice used throughout the drama often portrays the hate that exists in society and its effects on the LGBTQ + community. In addition, the use of interesting backgrounds in various scenes makes viewers curious about the actual recording sites used to shoot a movie. Are you one of the curious souls?
Where Was Closet Monster Movie Filmed?
The ‘Closet Monster’ was completely recorded in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, especially in St. Louis. John’s, Fogo Island, and Mount Pearl. By shooting a lot of movies in the setting of the story, Stephen Dunn and his team were able to present more real and make the film look more realistic in life.
Located in the Atlantic region, the province is made up of two different regions, as you might have already imagined – the island of Newfoundland and the continental province of Labrador. Due to the wide and varied regions of the province, it was visited by several filmmakers over the years. Other popular movies and TV shows that have used Newfoundland and Labrador locations include ‘Aquaman,’ ‘Contact,’ ‘Outlander,’ and ‘American Idols.’
Newfoundland and Labrador
Most of the ‘Closet Monster’ were lensed at St. John’s, the capital and largest city of Newfoundland and Labrador. The production team is likely to travel across a large area of the city to film the outer and inner sequences against the ideal background. Moreover, the narrative is based largely on Stephen Dunn’s childhood experience living in St. Louis.

Located on the island of Newfoundland, the city buildings are very different from other Canadian ones as most of the buildings are remnants of its rich history. The capital is home to many museums and places with national history, including the Provincial Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Railway Coastal Museum, Murray Premises, and Signal Hill. Apart from ‘Closet Monster,’ the city has appeared in many other recording projects, such as ‘Maudie,’ ‘The Grand Seduction,’ and ‘Republic of Doyle.’
