10 Abandoned Movie Sets You Can Still Visit

There’s a special kind of mystery in the places that were once something and now they just are left abandoned. For some it’s the feeling of creeps, for some it’s the traces of memories that can be found. Whatever angle you look at it from, abandoned places are one of the most intriguingly beautiful yet bizarre things humankind leaves behind. And one of the most amazing kinds of abandoned are the movie sets where once history was made on film, and now there’s nothing but dust and a photo opportunity.
