The homes in our favorite films are sometimes just as memorable as the characters. Think of "Home Alone" or "The Amityville Horror" -- movies where the home is as much of a character as Kevin McCallister or George Lutz. If you're lucky and have enough cash, then you can own a piece of cinematic history -- but try to refrain from recreating that classic scene in "Home Alone" where he slides down the front stairs. For the horror movie aficionado, then you could have bought that home located on Elm Street (actually Genesee Avenue) in 2013 when it showed up on the market. Here are updates on homes that have appeared in movies.

The Amityville Horror - Long Island, NY

If you're not the superstitious type then you could own the infamous "Amityville Horror" house located at 108 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. Although it's the site of a tragic mass murder that occurred in 1974, this stately Dutch Colonial home overlooks the Amityville River and measures 3,600 square feet. It has five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, formal dining room, living room with a fireplace, a large boathouse and boat slip, and plenty of outdoor space. You can purchase this piece of horror history for a mere $850,000 if, of course, you don't believe if haunted homes.

Sixteen Candles - Evanston, IL

Samantha Baker's home from "Sixteen Candles" is up for grabs. Director John Hughes chose a brick home for his main character, played by Molly Ringwald, in the classic teen comedy. The home is located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Evanston. It's listed for $1.49 million and features 3,250 square feet, six bedrooms, four bathrooms, an elegant living room, a spacious dining room, and wood-burning fireplace. If you're lucky enough to buy this home, we don't think anyone will forget your birthday party.

Scarface - Santa Barbara, CA

"Say hello to my little friend" is probably one of the most popular lines in cinematic history and the house it was filmed in is anything but little. Although the film is set in Miami, the actual home used in "Scarface" is located in Santa Barbara, CA. The Mediterranean estate, which is surrounded by fountains, exotic gardens, and spread across ten acres, was filmed as the home of fictional Cuban drug kingpin Tony Montana played by Al Pacino in 1983. After being on and off the market for more than a year, the Scarface mansion was sold for $12.3 million in 2015.

Groundhog Day- Woodstock, IL

In the classic movie "Groundhog Day," Bill Murray's character took up residence in the Cherry Street Inn where he wakes up repeating the same day over again. The actual house, which is a beautiful Royal Victorian Manor, located at 344 Fremont Street in Woodstock, IL, was built in 1894 as a single-family residence. Overtime, it was converted into a bed and breakfast by its previous owners and is currently listed on the market for $645,000. The 5,815 square-foot B&B offers eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, elegant fireplaces, and custom features throughout.

Home Alone - Winnetka, IL

If you wanted to live out your childhood dream of booby-trapping this home a la Kevin McCallister, then you are just out of luck. This red brick Georgian-style home in Winnetka, IL, was sold in 2012 for $1.585 million. The 4,243-square-foot home stands on a half-acre lot surrounded by stately trees and gardens.

Nightmare on Elm Street - Los Angeles, CA

You won't see anything being mentioned about Wes Craven's classic horror film "Nightmare on Elm Street" for this home listing. The two-story traditional/modernist fusion home that was used in the 80s slasher movie is actually located on 1428 Genessee Avenue in Los Angeles, CA. The home was sold for $2.1 million in 2013 after it went through huge renovations. It now features an open floor plan, formal rooms, guest house, garden, pool, and custom designed walk-in closets. But one thing that didn't change was the iconic red front door that was featured throughout some of the film's best horror scenes.
