Altered States: Scary Movie Homes and Their Actual Locations-- Part 2

In the 2009 movie "Zombieland," Bill Murray's Hollywood mansion was visited. But the 40,000 square foot mansion was actually on Atlanta's West Paces Ferry Road and you can buy it right now for a mere $22.5 million.

The house featured in 1984's "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is not in Springwood, Ohio (which was fictional itself), but was on Genesee Avenue in Los Angeles.

The townhouse featured in 1973's "Exorcist" was at Prospect Street NW in Georgetown (outside Washington, DC). The movie was based on a real exorcism, however, which really took place at the nearby Maryland suburb of Mt. Rainier.

In the "Thriller" music video, Michael and his zombies chase his date into a Victorian house, whose location was never mentioned. But, it is on Carroll Avenue, Los Angeles.

In nearby Pasadena, Ca., the Omega Beta Zeta house, featured in "Scream 2" is on East Crary Street.

More to Come. --DaCoot
