(#3) The Omen
- Film
The home of Ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck), his wife Katherine (Lee Remick), and their son, Damien (Harvey Stephens), is where Damien's nanny takes her life during a birthday party. Later, the satanic child pushes his mother over a staircase railing.
The real house, known as Pyrford Court, stands in Surrey, England. The 15-bedroom home was built in 1910 for the second Lord Iveagh - whose family is known for making Guinness beer. As of 2015, billionaire John Grayken owned the mansion and its 20 acres, so potential visitors should respect the private property.

(#20) It Follows
In It Follows, a sinister paranormal plague passes from person to person through intercourse, dooming the last in line with ghostly stalkers intent on catching and slaying them. At the beginning of the movie, Jay (Maika Monroe) is strapped into a wheelchair and pushed through an abandoned building by her one-night-stand (Jake Weary). Director David Robert Mitchell filmed the scene at the abandoned Packard Automotive Plant at 5815 Concord St. in Detroit, MI.
Previously a booming automotive headquarters, the building is now desolate and abandoned. Adventurous moviegoers should note that the Packard Plant is not open to the public and trying to enter is not legal.

(#10) Psycho
- Film
The final resting place of Norman Bates's mother in Psycho was never real, erected only on a movie lot for filming in 1960. The house is a now a part of the Universal Studio Tour available to patrons of the movie company's Hollywood theme park.
Both the house and the Bates Motel exist only as facades on the movie lot.

(#4) The Silence of the Lambs
- Film
Known for its part in the terrifying climax of the Oscar-winning film The Silence of the Lambs, Buffalo Bill's plain Pennsylvania house stood in stark contrast to the horrors happening within it. The house still stands at 8 Circle St., Perryopolis, PA.
It sold for $195,000 in 2016 and looks nothing like the virulent mess it was in the movie. The restored Queen Anne private home, built in 1910, is plain but charming, and still serves as a backdrop for fan photos.

(#21) The Devil's Rejects
- Film
The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie's 2005 sequel, features members of the Firefly family evading law enforcement officers hunting them for the slayings in the first film. The Kahiki Palms Motel in the movie is really Club Ed in the California desert, at 42828 150th St. in Lancaster.
Except the desert spot is not a real club: it's a movie set that was originally built for the 1991 movie Eye of the Storm starring Dennis Hopper. The site includes a vintage gas station, roadside restaurant, and hotel.
It is still available for movie and television shoots, so no trespassing unless the caretaker provides permission.

(#15) The Ring
- Film
Featured in the cursed tape put together by Samara (Deveigh Chase) and figuring prominently in the investigation performed by Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts), the Moesko Island Lighthouse plays a crucial role in 2002's The Ring. Alas, Moesko Island is not real, so director Gore Verbinski settled for Yaquina Head Lighthouse in Newport, OR.
The 93-foot-tall tower, built in 1872, is Oregon's tallest lighthouse. The structure is open to the public.
