(#16) Paranormal Activity
- Film
The San Diego house where Katie (Katie Featherstone) and Micah (Micah Sloat) encounter a demonic spirit in Paranormal Activity belonged to director Oren Peli during filming. It was the sole setting for Peli's film, which grossed millions on a shoestring budget of less than $15,000.
According to Zillow, the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home at 13236 Bavarian Drive in San Diego, CA, quickly sold as soon as it went on the market in 2015. Naturally, the interior of the home in the real estate photos looks considerably brighter and less creepy than the found-footage look in the film.
(#17) Poltergeist
- Film
The Freeling family of Steven Spielberg's 1982 hit horror movie Poltergeist lived in a nice new housing development built over a cemetery. The real house sits at 4267 Roxbury St. in Simi Valley, CA, and looks just like it did in the film. Supposedly housing the same family since 1979, it shows no signs of damage from its fictional escapades.
Fans can drive by or take a picture from the sidewalk, but the home is definitely private property.
(#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.
(#6) The Exorcist
- Film
The home of possessed child Regan and her mother Chris MacNeil from The Exorcist stands at 3600 Prospect St. NW in Washington, DC. According to real estate website Zillow, the 1950 home last received an update in 2004 and boasts three bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Fans can, however, visit the DC stairs where Father Karras (Jason Miller) falls down during the movie's climax. In 2015, the nation's capital designated the site a tourist attraction and officially recognized the steps as a part of movie history with a plaque.
(#2) Jaws
- Film
Amity Island isn't any more real than the gigantic great white that held its beaches hostage one summer in 1975. But fans can visit Sylvia State Beach at 180 Beach Road in Massachusetts where the first summer blockbuster was filmed.
Though damaged by erosion in the 1990s, the two-mile stretch of beach and ocean is rebuilt and ready for Jaws aficionados to bask on its sand or brave its waters.
(#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.
