21 Hollywood Filming Locations with Seriously Chilling Vibes

21. The Mysterious Disappearance at the Cecil Hotel (Stay on Main)

Though infamous for many dark events, the Cecil Hotel's (now rebranded as Stay on Main) connection to the Elisa Lam case in 2013 solidified its eerie reputation globally, with Hollywood often drawing on such LA noir tales. The baffling circumstances of her disappearance and death, discovered in a rooftop water tank, along with unsettling elevator footage, fueled countless theories and a sense of profound unease. The hotel’s long history of suicides, murders, and housing serial killers already made it a dark landmark, but this modern mystery added a chilling new layer to its unsettling legacy.
