6 homes for horror movie fans
It's the week of Halloween, when homes and neighborhoods across the country get creepy.
But these six homes don't need front yard tombstones or hanging skeletons from the Halloween store to give you the creeps - they have the potential to scare you all year long. From "The Hills Have Eyes" to "The Omen," these homes each have features that provide the backdrop for some very scary moments in movie history. Check out the spots, and try to keep yourself from imagining a dark, dripping figure emerging out of the well of a home in Kansas.

"Signs" may not be a traditional horror movie, but it certainly had the jumps, thrills and monsters of any other creepy film. Imagine chasing aliens through the fields of this Michigan home, which sits in the middle of 153 acres of cornfields and farmland. Though the fields may give you the creeps, there's a pool and a pond on the property, so you have a large water supply to tap if necessary.

It's probably pretty hard to sleep at night in this Arizona home surrounded by hilly desert after watching "The Hills Have Eyes." Surrounded by desert and more than an hour from any city, this 77-acre property is a wee bit isolated. While there's no record of any nuclear testing sites nearby, that may not do much to calm your nerves when strolling through tall grasses and rocky hillsides.

This beautiful, stately Virginia home could have easily doubled for the home of Robert and Katherine Thorn, the unwitting couple in "The Omen" who take home Damien, a child who Robert is pretty sure might be the devil. The 3-acre Virginia property even has a graveyard, which provides the backdrop for the chilling final scene of "The Omen."

This Michigan farm property has one very strange feature that will sure to unnerve any Stephen King fan - a pet cemetery right on the property. Although this cemetery is not inaccurately spelled like the movie "Pet Sematary," it still contains the dead pets of generations of children. Luckily, the 20-acre property is not located right off a busy, major trucking route and there aren't any known ancient Indian burial grounds near the property.

One of the most infamous scenes from "The Ring" features a video of a dead girl, hair covering her face, slowly crawling out of a well and then out of the TV. If you lived in this Kansas home, you don't need a TV. You can imagine a terrifying killer rising from the well in your very own backyard.

If you buy this Florida home, you'll get plenty of amenities - a screened-in, lagoon-style heated pool, a chef's kitchen, wine vault, two laundry rooms and access to the gated community's tennis courts, clubhouse and 160-acre bird sanctuary. With all those birds around, this window-filled home would provide you little protection if the birds went crazy and attacked like in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." In fact, you're stuck on an island, so you'd be in a real tight spot.
