Everyone loves a great villain. Luckily, Hollywood seems to conjure up a new iconic killer/monster every decade and provides them with at
least a dozen movies to strut their stuff. Sure, every goodchapter is followed by at least two bad ones, but you can’t deny the entertainment value provided by Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger.
Fast forward nearly three decades later, and Andy Muschietti tapped Bill Skarsgård to portray the killer clown with electrifying results in 2017’s It. This version isn’t nearly as scary as it probably should be, but Skarsgård’s performance left a mark and remains a famous icon in mainstream media. My seven-year-old knows who he is, for cripe’s sake!Technically, Ghostface isn’t a person but a mask concealing an assortment of crazed, pop-culture-obsessed murderers.

Rosenheim in 1908, this Tudor-style estate has appeared on TV screens in both horror ('Dexter,' ' Buffy the Vampire Slayer') and non-horror ('Miami Vice,' 'The X-Files') contexts over the years.

That first season later came to be known as 'Murder House' and its namesake would live on in the Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk horror universe, including Season 8 of AHS ('Apocalypse') and several episodes of the spinoff series 'American Horror Stories.' (Fun — non-spooky — fact: In 1999, the Rosenheim Mansion was added to L.A.'s list of Historical-Cultural Monuments.) Spookiness factor: There's something about the heavy red brickwork, the Tiffany stained-glass windows and the fact that it served as a convent for Catholic nuns for half a century that makes this one of the spookiest places on the list. (And the less thought about what transpired in the basement — onscreen or off — the better.)
