Favorite horror movie sets?


This is probably one of my favorites in terms of sets. The art deco House of Wax, the retro town that reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode, the movie theater with What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

I also liked Silent Hill's set with the corrugated "hell dimension" alternate takes on the town.

What are yours?

I've gotta agree with this one. This set definitely has something special to it.
But I also really like the Chernobyl Diaries set. Mainly because I am really interested in Chernobyl in general but they did a great job recreating the town. Also Grave Encounters. No particular reason other than that I love abandon places etc. And it's pretty effective to create the atmosphere.

yeah, this was a way cool setting. There are so many hard to think of them, but always one of my favs for setting is "Susperia".

A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.

The sets in Ghost Ship are excellent, far better than the movie deserved (even though i like the movie)

Tosca isn't for everyone.
