Rosenheim Mansion
Rosenheim Mansion, also known as the "Murder House," is a historic building located in Los Angeles, CA. The residence was built by architect Alfred Rosenheim in 1908 and has since served a popular filming location for horror projects including The Twilight Zone, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, and more. 

The first season of American Horror Story, retroactively titled "Murder House," was filmed onsite in 2011. The home recently sold for $3.2 million in 2015 and the sellers were subsequently sued for not disclosing the property was featured on American Horror Story, as fans frequently visit.

504 Battery Drive is fictional location of the Men in Black Headquarters. The building is a ventilation tower servicing the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel, an underwater thoroughfare connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. 

In the movie franchise, the location serves as a critical meeting point between Men in Black agents and aliens. The interior maintains a futuristic look with high walls and top-secret technology lurks throughout the facility. 


The tower was designed like a monument due to objections from neighbors during the construction process. Opened in 1950, the granite-faced facade evokes "beauty as well as utility in the ventilating outlet".

Old Dutch Church

Old Dutch Church is located at 430 Broadway in Sleepy Hollow, NY.  Constructed in 1685, the church and adjacent burying ground are primarily known as home to the Headless Horseman.

Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow alleges that a deceased Hessian soldier buried in the churchyard “rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head”.  The 1820 short story declares the Horseman “vanishes, according to rule, in a flash of fire and brimstone” upon returning to the burial ground before daybreak.

The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the oldest house of worship in New York.

Hook & Ladder Co. 8

Hook & Ladder Company 8 is an active FDNY station in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. Constructed in 1903, the building is known for its role in the Ghostbusters movie franchise and September 11th attacks.

The exterior façade was chosen by film director Ivan Reitman as Ghostbusters headquarters for its obscure location and ability to “get really big, beautiful wide shots”. While taping in October 1983, one scene was interrupted by an alarm and fire truck leaving for a call.
On 9/11 firefighters from Company 8 were first responders at the World Trade Center. Lt. Vincent Holloran was killed in the North Tower collapse while helping trapped citizens on the 30th floor.

​The building is a contributing property to the Tribeca West Historic District.
Address: 14 North Moore Street, New York, NY.
