Phantasm
This historic mansion in Oakland, California was used as the exterior of the Tall Man's mausoleum in the 1979 horror film, Phantasm. Built by a coal baron at the end of the 19th century, the mansion and grounds are now maintained and operated by a non-profit group. Tours are available to the public. Wedding ceremonies can also be arranged on the property, if you should wish to get hitched in front of the Tall Man's home.
Burnt Offerings
The Dunsmuir House & Gardens also served as the primary filming location for the 1976 Dan Curtis horror film Burnt Offerings. In that film the house is alive and rejuvenates itself by killing the families that live there.
