43 Creepiest Locations Around The World To Be Actually Used In Film

16. Beelitz-Heilstätten, Germany – The Abandoned Sanitarium of Nightmares

What’s creepier than an abandoned hospital? An abandoned hospital where Adolf Hitler was once treated and which later became a notorious filming location for horror movies. Located just outside Berlin, Beelitz-Heilstätten is a massive, decaying medical complex that was originally built as a tuberculosis sanatorium in the 1800s. Later, it became a military hospital, even treating a young Hitler after he was injured in World War I. After being abandoned in the 1990s, it became a ghostly, crumbling ruin. The hospital’s empty hallways, rusting medical equipment, and peeling walls have made it the perfect location for horror films, including "A Cure for Wellness" (2016). The eerie, real-life atmosphere of the hospital added a layer of authenticity to the film’s unsettling tone. Visitors and film crews have reported whispers, shadowy figures, and sudden drops in temperature, adding to the unnerving experience of being inside one of the world's most haunted hospitals.
