8. The Stanley Dock – Liverpool, England

Though 1408 is set in a fictional haunted hotel in New York City, much of the movie’s atmospheric interior was actually filmed at Stanley Dock in Liverpool, England. This massive, historic dockyard, known for its red-brick industrial warehouses, was transformed into the luxurious yet terrifying Dolphin Hotel, where John Cusack’s character faces a relentless onslaught of supernatural horror. Filming took place inside one of the old warehouses, which was meticulously decorated to resemble a grand but sinister hotel interior. The long, dimly lit hallways, ornate yet decayed furnishings, and eerie ambiance of the dock’s interior helped bring 1408’s psychological horror to life, making it feel like the hotel itself was alive.
