32. The Dakota Building, USA – The Cursed Apartment of Rosemary’s Baby

This luxurious New York City apartment building might seem like an unlikely horror film location, but The Dakota’s real-life dark history made it the perfect setting for Rosemary’s Baby (1968). It’s most infamous for being the place where John Lennon was assassinated, but eerie stories surrounding the Dakota date back much further. Residents have reported ghostly figures, flickering lights, and sinister presences, making it feel like something dark lurks within. Even decades after Rosemary’s Baby, the building’s ominous energy remains, making it one of the most unsettling real-life horror locations in film history.
