Obviously, though, it's the mental hospitals I found fascinating.

One of these days, when the weather isn't so hot and humid, I'll have to do some wandering around on the state grounds and get some exterior shots, and see what areas of my hospital I can get into that are less rennovated.

Like the basement. Our basement looks JUST like a lot of these places.
After seeing the remake of House on Haunted Hill, I've pretty much given up the idea of visiting abandoned mental hospitals . Actually, I can automatically think of 4 recent horror movies set in abandoned (or active) mental hospitals. Mental hospitals might just rank as the number one location for horror movies, next to high schools (I can imagine the Masters thesis on that).

Mind you, the black and white photo of the castle in the Enchanted Forest amusement park also looked like a potential horror film set.

My high school was located at the site of a former hospital, and until just a couple years ago all the buildings were former hospital buildings (and related functions--for example there had been a nursing school, so there were dormitories).

It was common knowledge that the math department was located in the former psych ward.
