    The isolated hotel of the Jack Nicholson thriller was the perfect venue for his descent into madness. And when the blood rushes through the elevators to overtake the lobby… priceless.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    This television min-series sent chills up many a spine as the Marsten House became ground zero for a vampire invasion. One of the most memorable (and gruesome) scenes begins with a floating vampire child scratching at the second story window, and it only gets worse from there.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    The torture chamber of serial killer Jigsaw takes haunted house to whole other level. Going beyond creaky floors and trap doors, the movie’s setting is an industrial bathroom with two men trapped inside for a deadly psychological game.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    The seemingly endless corridors onboard the Event Horizon spaceship are scary enough. Add to that the mysterious suicide of its crew and a trip through a black hole, and you’ve got one chilling sci-fi flick.

    Clarice, Clarice. Even though Hannibal Lecter was the one confined to a dark, dank cell, it was Clarice Starling who was held captive. The damp stone walls sealed off by bulletproof glass and that one rickety steel drawer were made even more eerie by the dark shadows Lecter hid behind.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    In this house, the unseen is uncovered, the unknown is unbound and the unholy is unleashed, the trailer to this sadomasochistic thriller teases. With clanging ceiling chains and shattered stained glass, this home is transformed into hell on Earth.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    This '80s favorite sticks to tradition, featuring an old-fashioned haunted house, possessed by a poltergeist. The ghost abruptly opens and shuts doors, appears during a séance and is the power behind the famous burning staircase. More frightening is that the story is based on real events.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    When a teenager is possessed by an evil spirit, two priests are called in to perform a series of exorcisms. This holy horror is centered around the child’s soft and sweet bedroom, which then becomes breeding ground for the sinister demons who have overtaken her.

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    For God’s sake, get out! is the cautionary tagline for this blood-and-guts thriller. When a young couple moves into a house haunted by the murdered former owners, they’re driven out by swarms of flies and thick black goo oozing from the toilets. (Somebody call the plumber.)

  • Houses of Horror: Scariest Movie Sets
    Ghosts Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin find themselves stuck with the houseguest from hell after hiring “bio-exorcist” Beetle Juice to help them haunt their own home. Their goal? To get rid of the new owners, who have transformed their country abode into a gaudy modern showplace.

    The story was re-adapted this year, but the original gothic novel's Thornfield house remains haunted by odd happenings, such as a mysterious fire and a strange woman who rips Jane’s wedding veil in two. But the elegant, antique decor was, um, to die for.
