16 Real-Life Horror Movie Locations You Can Visit This Halloween

Grab a burger at the gas station from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, now a horror-themed BBQ joint, or spend the night in the Poltergeist house, reborn as an Airbnb. Stroll the Us boardwalk in Santa Cruz or visit the farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring. Some spots welcome overnight guests, while others are best admired from the curb, but all promise a good scare.
