If you've read The Shining, seen Poltergeist, or played Amnesia, you know that a house can be more than just a place to live—it can be a source of horror.

The subreddit 'Evil Buildings' and its 1.1 million members regularly share examples of architecture that embodies this sinister vibe—whether it's a structure that could be chosen by a supervillain as their lair, could serve as the headquarters for a wicked corporation, or simply looks so creepy that it feels as if it's alive and watching you.

Enter if you dare.

If I understand Wikipedia correctly it's actually twice as tall as it looks here. The bottom half is inside the mountain.
