21 Everyday Places You'd Never Guess Were Used for Dark Movie Scenes

19. The Dakota Apartments (New York City) – Rosemary's Baby (1968)

This exclusive, historic apartment building overlooking Central Park is famous for its architecture and high-profile residents (including John Lennon). But Roman Polanski transformed its prestigious facade into "The Bramford," the sinister setting for Rosemary's Baby. The Dakota's ornate, slightly gothic architecture became the home of seemingly helpful but secretly malevolent neighbors orchestrating a demonic conspiracy. The film forever imbued this real-life landmark with an aura of sophisticated, chilling evil lurking behind its elegant doors.
