Creepiest Filming Locations Hollywood Has Ever Chosen

21. The Overlooked Spahn Ranch – A Place of Cultish Horror

Spahn Ranch, once a humble Western movie set in Los Angeles County, became infamous when Charles Manson and his followers moved in during the late 1960s. While it was originally used to film classic Westerns and TV shows, it became synonymous with one of the most notorious cult murders in history—the Tate-LaBianca killings. Despite its horrific past, Spahn Ranch has continued to be a sought-after filming location for eerie and historical thrillers. Today, the land is mostly deserted, but people who visit claim to hear disembodied voices, distant chanting, and even see ghostly apparitions lurking among the ruins. The energy here is palpably dark, making it one of the most chilling film locations Hollywood has ever utilized.
