Many movies and television show's film locations are affected by the success of such films. People want to see the real places of homes or stores that are featured in their favorite movies. In Beijing, a movie called "The House that never Dies" (2014)has caused many people to visit the house the movie is based on, which is supposedly haunted. Even though the house is abandoned, I do not think that it is right for people to trespass on property that is not theirs. All they are doing is just looking at a house that a camera was pointed at. Even though I enjoy seeing things that were in movies, doing something illegal to see it is not a very good thingThe "house that never dies" in Beijing are not the only places affected by this. The television show
"American Horror Story" (2008) featured a haunted house in season one. The house is no longer in the show, but still has many people going to it. This brought many break ins and trespassing on the property. Now, a family moved into the house, but are still bothered by fans of the show. Another example is "Breaking Bad" (2008), where many people visit the "home" of Walter White. The owner of the home is very annoyed by people trespassing on her property. But, some places benefit from this. New Zealand plane sales have skyrocketed when the trilogy of the "Lord of the Rings" (2002) was released.

I have to say I love that their are places that benefit from the movie business. The New Zealand areas where "The Hobbit" and "Lord of The Rings" trilogy are amazing places to look at and visit. However, what do you mean when you say a hit horror movie rattled a catholic Diocese.
