Trivia

Lost Highway location: the ‘Lost Highway Hotel’: Death Valley Junction, California
David Lynch’s foray into fluid identities is his most disturbing and successful effort since Blue Velvet.
The home of Fred (Bill Pullman) and Renee Madison (Patricia Arquette), where they start to receive disturbing video cassettes, is Lynch’s own – he designed it himself – hidden away in the Hollywood Hills.
Lost Highway location: ‘Arnie’s’ garage: Firestone Garage, South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles
‘Arnie’s’, the garage run by Richard Pryor, where Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty) works, is the 1937 deco Firestone Garage, 800 South La Brea Avenue at Eighth Street, midtown Los Angeles.
The desert locale is Silurian Dry Lake, east of Route 127, between Baker and Shoshone in the Mojave Desert.
The ‘Lost Highway Hotel’ itself is a conflation of two buildings. The corridors are the Amargoso Hotel, Death Valley Junction, a tiny, one-street town on Route 127, north of Shoshone near the Nevada border. The exterior is the more photogenic Death Valley Building, directly opposite (seen also in the original 1986 film of The Hitcher).
