How To Decorate Your Apartment Like These 5 Beautiful Horror Movies

From ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ to ‘The Handmaiden’

Despite—and sometimes because of—their gory aesthetic, horror movies are some of the most visually arresting films to watch, so it makes perfect sense that you'd want to translate some of their macabre looks into your own home. Like, sure, maybe don't be super-literal about it (blood will stain, after all), but the following five films will provide plenty of inspiration when it comes to transforming your home into a haunted house this fall.

Rosemary's Baby: Easily one of the most visually stunning horror movies of all time, Rosemary's Baby is perhaps better known for its fashion and style aesthetics (that haircut!) than for its decor choices. But that's ironic considering it's really all about the terror-filled realm of New York City real estate! Make your home into a replica of the Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse's Dakota stunner by incorporating goth baby decor and accessories, but balancing everything out with mid-century modern pieces, splashes of yellow to remind you of your now-lost innocence, a '60s shag rug, and a fireplace next to which you can get nice and cozy. (Oh, and in which to see images of Satan flickering in the faux flames.)

The Handmaiden: Easily one of our favorite movies of the year, it's fairer to call The Handmaiden a thriller rather than a horror movie, since there's nothing supernatural in its terrors. But it is as full of suspense and trickery as it is sumptuous visuals, and so we think it qualifies anyway. In order to replicate the lush interiors of The Handmaiden, where so much of the action takes place, fill your home with intricately carved wooden pieces, delicate accessories and artwork, and a soaking tub, in which your every need can be administered to. Oh, and that preserved octopus? That's just to remind you of where true terror lies.

Get Out: Everyone knows that Get Out was a groundbreaking scary movie for its unflinching look at the horrors of racism, but it was also a really beautiful movie—if you find the whole uber-preppy, WASP-y decor thing to be compelling. Which, well, we don't, ordinarily. And yet we still had a ton of fun putting together this Get Out-themed room, full of plaid, majestic antlers (though not ones you can be impaled upon), a tea set, and the perfect bowl from which to eat dry cereal while drinking a glass of milk. Scary! Welcome to your very own Sunken Place. Don't forget to carry your keys on you at all times.

The Love Witch: Okay, so we pretty much want to live inside this movie, only maybe without all the death. (Maybe. A lot of those victims were really lame.) But while we can't literally live inside a film, we can emulate this one pretty easily, as writer-director-resident Love Witch genius Anna Biller has an aesthetic that's really easy to track down, since basically everyone tried to copy it after Love Witch hit the scene. So get ready to adorn your home in rich reds, royal purples, and lots and lots of risque art.

Beetlejuice: Even if you think Tim Burton's hyper-specific aesthetic can feel a bit tired out by now, get over it and do a rewatch of Beetlejuice, which is definitely one of his top films and the one with the most excitingly loopy design sensibility. The whole set has a truly brilliant goth Memphis vibe, and it's one that feels particularly fresh right now.
