Favorite Spooky Settings:
1.) Fleet Street – Sweeney Todd.
I like how it is always gray outside. No matter what time of day, there
is like a grey fog overcast. It’s very creepy, but I love the look.
2.) Ballentree Moor – Penny Dreadful.
At the Cut Wife’s home. It always seems to be nice and windy…Spooky
and windy I should say. I love how it’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s surrounded
by bushes and trees.I like how even in the day time, it’s eerie.The sun could be
shining, and I still feel uneasy. Like something bad is about to happen.
I just LOVE it!
3.) The Other World – Coraline.
Even though this world is more vibrant/beautiful than Coraline’s the real
world, there is still something not right about it…Everything is too perfect to be
true. Everything looks beautiful, but it’s all a facade to make you want to stay,
and if you do, all hell will break loose.
4.) The Forbidden/Dark Forest – Harry Potter.
I didn’t read the books, but I watched every last Harry Potter Film, and I fell
in love! One of my favorite places in the Forbidden/Dark Forest. You wouldn’t
catch me there in a million years! There is no amount of money that would make
me want to even step foot in there! The name alone tells you it’s a big NO NO!
Even though I wouldn’t go there, I still can’t help but think it is
beautiful…In a creepy way.
5.) Les Catacombs – Paris, France.
Okay, now there is NOTHING fiction about this place. And I don’t even
think I can call this a favorite place. I just can’t help but think about it any time
someone mentions scary settings. I don’t even know where to start with this one.
How could anyone willingly go down into somewhere chock full of dead bodies?
Well skeletons…You know what I mean! Then on top of that, I am always
hearing stories about how it’s haunted…NO THANKS!

I would love to visit the catacombs someday!
You are CRAZY! You wouldn’t catch me there! 😐 😥
My entire list is Harry Potter and I highly recommend reading the books and then re-watching the movies. The movies are not the same.
I know, but I’m just not interested in reading the books
I have a HUGE TBR and I think the movies were enough. 🙂
CREEPY–you’re doing it too right!
Great list! The catacombs sounds so interesting I’d love to go visit 😛
😐
I like the list! It’s great! 🙂
Great list! It’s been a while since I’ve read HP but I don’t remember being really scared of the forest for some reason, but I think now that I’m older I actually get more scared than I did as a teen 😂
Watching it wasn’t scary, but if you put yourself in that situation, it’s scary as hell! 😉
I adore ‘Penny Dreadful’! It is, by far, my favorite series (as far as dramas go). It’s breathtakingly intelligent and visually stunning. John Logan is a genius. And the acting!!! It’s all brilliant. I’m excited to see Ballentree Moor on your list!
Haha I didn’t think about the catacombs, I’m French and I live near Paris, I love this city but I will never set a foot there, I just don’t get the people that visit this place, they must be crazy! :O
I don’t blame you! 😐
Great list! I like that you chose locations that you had not necessary read about.
Great list! Definitely agree with you about the catacombs.
I also put the Forbidden Forest on my list! Definitely an underrated spooky place.
😀
The Other World in Coraline was a great pick- it was so creepy!!
I always LOL in Harry Potter when Ron seems to be the only one who is scared of the Forbidden Forest. I mean, how can Harry and Hermione not be when they grew up muggle and don’t even know half of what magical creatures even exist???? They don’t know which ones are harmless and which ones will kill them instantly!!
Exactly! I wouldn’t have even stepped foot in that forest!
The Other World is creepy as hell. I watched the movie years ago and I still haven’t forgotten that world.
😆
I just finished Coraline today! There is something deeply unsettling about the other world.

Love the list. I miss Penny Dreadful and the Cut Wife cottage was super spooky. 😱
