I recently came across this really eerie abandoned motel and it honestly looks like it was pulled straight from a horror video game. The place has that perfect spooky atmosphere with broken windows, peeling paint, and overgrown weeds everywhere. The whole building has this unsettling vibe that makes you think something terrible happened there. Has anyone else found places like this that remind them of classic horror games? I’m curious about what makes certain abandoned buildings feel so much more frightening than others. There’s something about the architecture and decay that just screams supernatural horror.
Those old motels hit different - they’re frozen in time, like everyone just disappeared overnight.
Repetitive layouts really creep me out. Empty hospitals and office buildings hit me the same way - there’s something unsettling about them.
Motels are classic horror spots because they create that sense of isolation. You have all these identical rooms just sitting there, usually in the middle of nowhere. When they’re abandoned, it feels like you stepped right into a horror game. That uniform architecture really gets to you.
Weeds crawling up the sides really nail that abandoned nightmare vibe. There’s something creepy about nature taking back man-made spaces - like the world just moved on without us. Gives me major Last of Us vibes, or any post-apocalyptic scene where everything’s getting swallowed up.
The Bates Motel vibes are real with those places
I totally get that feeling. Abandoned places have this creepy vibe - like they’re frozen in some horror loop. Silent Hill nailed that atmosphere perfectly with all the unsettling details.
Broken windows and peeling paint make everything feel cursed. Decay hits that same primal fear button as horror games.
Found a creepy gas station once that felt straight out of Left 4 Dead 2
