Variety's Spooky List of 21 Los Angeles Film and TV Horror Sites

My colleague Pat Saperstein has put together another great L.A.-centric list of locations in Los Angeles — and this time it's horror-themed. She writes:

From “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” to “Halloween” and “Poltergeist,” Hollywood productions have found plenty of spooky locations to shoot iconic scare fare.

From everytown U.S.A. suburban houses to creepy desert gas stations and ominous cemetery gates, you don’t have to venture far outside the city to find just about any kind of location a horror film could need. Of course, some of the scariest movies take place in some of the most placid suburban settings.

Go here for her full list of 21 locations, which features:
