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

38. The Alton Towers Ruins, England – A Theme Park with a Terrifying Core

Before it became one of the UK’s most popular theme parks, Alton Towers was a Gothic estate with a mysterious past. The original 19th-century mansion still stands in a semi-ruined state within the park—and it’s rumored to be haunted by a tragic countess who was cursed by a beggar woman. The real house was used in the filming of promotional horror shorts for The Curse at Alton Manor, and visitors have claimed to hear sobbing inside the ruins. The fusion of abandoned grandeur and an eerie amusement park makes this location uniquely unsettling. It’s where childhood wonder meets ghostly despair.
