7 Halloween Movie Houses From Our Favorite Horror Films

Located in South Pasadena, California this is Michael Myers’ two-story house which was actually abandoned when producers decided to use it as a location for the film Halloween. The house has is now across the street and still has a lot of skeleton traffic, it’s a chiropractic office!

Max and Dani’s house from the movie is located in Salem, MA and is still owned and occupied to this day. The owners kept the exterior of the house intact since Hocus Pocus was released in 1993 and it sits on the end of the street with no neighbors on 3 of the 4 sides. Fans of the movie still flock to the house around Halloween every year and we could not leave it off our 7 Halloween Movie Houses list!

The Thornewood Castle of Lakewood, Washington used in Stephen King’s thriller Rose Red was actually built in England at the start of the 16th century. Mr. Chester Thorne bought the castle for his wife Anna, and later had it deconstructed piece by piece and shipped across the pond where it would be rebuilt in Lakewood, WA.

Spoiler Alert! This is not a real house, but a facade constructed for Maitland’s little home in East Corinth, Vermont for the movie Beetlejuice. The interior scenes in the movie were filmed on set in California but that doesn’t take away from the beautiful avant-garde porch and overall design of the outside of the house for the film.

Timberline Lodge in Mount Hood, Orgeon is where most of the exterior shots of Stephen King’s The Shining were shot. Drawing inspiration from the Stanley Hotel in Estes, Colorado, the fictional Overlook Hotel interior was actually filmed on a studio set in England. Timberline Lodge is a government-owned National Historic Landmark.

The Cape Cod style home used in the film to depict the Long Island Dutch Colonial home that the story is based on is actually this home in Toms River, New Jersey which was remodeled to display the gambrel roof and “eye windows.”

The old firehouse Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler bought to start their ghostbusting business was actually two separate firehouses. The Firehouse, Hook, & Ladder Company 8 located at 14 North Moore Street in Tribecca was used to film the exterior location shots of the Ghostbusters headquarters. The interior of the film was shot at Fire Station No. 23, 225 E. 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA, also known as skid row.
