Synopsis: Scream
Reel Homes will go to Glenn Allen, CA to revisit the unforgettable opening of Scream. Here, you'll see where Drew Barrymore was chased by a costumed killer through the house before making her dramatic exit on the property's tree.

Halloween
Halloween is the quintessential horror movie and its reel home is just as famous. Located in Hollywood, California, the residence was where scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis first senses that Michael Myers was lurking in the distance. But when it comes to evil, this lovely, unassuming Hollywood home has had its share. The same home was also used in Nightmare on Elm Street 1, 2 and 3.

The Ring
It may look like an ordinary horse farm in Monroe, Washington, but head on into the barn and you'll see why The Ring still haunts this Reel Home. High above the floor, the demonic girl's loft still exists, looking just like the day The Ring filmmakers left it. Hannibal When Anthony Hopkins had Ray Liotta for dinner in Hannibal, it became one of the most disturbing dinner scenes in cinema history. And you can revisit it at this charming bed and breakfast in Richmond, Virginia.

Minority Report
In the climax of the sci-fi thriller Minority Report, Director Steven Spielberg had Tom Cruise's character escape the CGI laden city backdrop for this quintessential beach home in Gloucester, Virginia. On Virginia's Chesapeake Bay, the scenes were shot in and around the property, culminating in an amazing aerial stunt over the house.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
In I Know What You Did Last Summer, four teenagers try to cover up a hit-and-run but they're haunted by the man who comes back to get them. We drop in on Jennifer Love Hewitt's house, which is actually a distinguished southern home in coastal Southport, North Carolina.

Amityville Horror
When Amityville Horror filmmakers learned that the owners of the real home had removed the pumpkin face exterior, they went out and found this creepy Victorian Mansion in Salem, Wisconsin. More than a stand in, it's scarier than the original. Sixth Sense In the Sixth Sense, director M. Night Shyamalan didn't just take over a home, but rather an entire street in Philadelphia. Once filmmakers realized the house of Haley Joel Osment's character wasn't big enough, the director went to the extreme of combining two homes into one.
