(#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.

(#13) Rosemary's Baby
- Film
In Rosemary's Baby, Rosemary (Mia Farrow) and her husband, Guy (John Cassavetes), live in the fictional Bramford building where they meet controlling neighbors Roman (Sidney Blackmer) and Minnie (Ruth Gordon). Much of the action in the film, including the climax, takes place inside the apartment building. Director Roman Polanski used the real New York City luxury apartment building called the Dakota as his film's Bramford.
Located at 1 W. 72nd St. across from Central Park on the Upper West Side, the apartments within are likely out of reach for horror buffs, but the outside of the building remains an excellent photo opportunity.

(#19) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Many of the filming locations in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which was marketed as a true story (it wasn't), still exist around Texas. The Sawyer family house of horrors, a Queen Anne-style cottage originally located in Round Rock, was moved in the 1900s. It's now the Grand Central Cafe, at 1010 King Court in Kingsland.
The Last Chance Gas Station visited by the movie's characters went through several changes over the years, including stints as Bilbo's Texas Landmark and Ryan's Hills Prairie Grocery. Now known as The Gas Station, it's still located at 1073 State Highway 304 in Bastrop. The place is now a barbecue joint and shop that sells film memorabilia, and visitors can also book one of four rustic cabins on the property.
According to the Guardian, the owners are an Ohio entrepreneur named Roy Rose and Ari Lehman - who played Jason Voorhees in the first Friday the 13th film.

(#11) Night of the Living Dead
- Film
George A. Romero's 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead opens with siblings Barbra (Judith O'Dea) and Johnny (Russell Streiner) arriving at their father's gravesite before a zombie accosts them. Luckily for fans, Evans City Cemetery in Pennsylvania embraces its role in the birth of zombie movies.
Visitors can walk past the grave markers seen in some frames of the movie, as well as the chapel on the property.

(#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.

(#12) The Amityville Horror
- Film
Ronald DeFeo Jr. took the lives of his entire family at a home in Amityville, Long Island, one year before the Lutz family purchased it in December 1975. The Lutz family claimed that odd occurrences plagued their residency, at 112 Ocean Ave., leading to a movie version of their story in 1979, along with sequels and remakes.
The home itself, abandoned by the Lutz family after only 28 days, still exists at the same location - with a changed house number; it's now 108 Ocean Ave. According to Gizmodo, the family that purchased the house in 1977 lived there for a decade didn't encounter any odd phenomena.
According to Zillow, the renovated home last sold for $605,000 in 2017. Over the years, two windows that apparently resembled eyes were removed.
