"The Amityville Horror' House

When you think of horror movies, some of the locations are just as memorable as the villains themselves. It's near impossible to talk about "The Amityville Horror" without picturing those eerie, eye-like attic windows or "The Overlook Hotel" when discussing "The Shining." If you're a fan of horror homes, artist John Stewart may have something you're interested in.

Available on his website, Stewart has recreated some of the most iconic locations in horror with handmade scale models. Each model is completely sculpted, carved, textured and painted by the artist, who uses no pre-made materials. To keep the models structurally sound, each piece is framed with metal and wood. They even light up!

Stewart's pieces are all exact replicas and include locations from "The Amityville Horror," "The Shining," "The Evil Dead," "Poltergeist," "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and more. The replicas are available to purchase on his website and vary in price depending on the haunt you desire.
