Some buildings just give off bad vibes. You look at them and think, “Yep, definitely where a movie villain lives,” or “This place eats interns.”
Maybe it’s the lighting, the layout, or just an unsettling energy you can’t quite explain, but these architectural choices feel less like design and more like a warning.
I rounded up some of the weirdest, most unintentionally (or maybe very intentionally?) evil-looking architecture I could find.
These are the evil buildings that look like they’ve got a secret lair in the basement—or at the very least, a strict dress code and some light soul-draining.
