“Evil Lair”: 93 Buildings With Bold Designs That Are Impossible To Ignore (New Pics)
Thanks to their bold architecture, some buildings look genuinely intimidating, creepy, or, as some people claim, "evil". They aren’t actually haunted, but their dramatic shapes and shadowy angles certainly make them look the part.
For example, the central post office in Skopje, North Macedonia, resembles a giant spaceship that crash-landed in the city center. Even iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building in New York City can give off serious dystopian fortress energy if you catch them on a foggy night.
But you do not have to travel the globe or trek through bad weather to see them for yourself — because Bored Panda has gathered a collection of the strangest, coolest, and most fascinating structures from r/evilbuildings right here.
Step inside the lair, because, when it comes to concrete, some architects clearly had a few sketchy plans up their sleeves.

😁 Now here you can be sure actual villains live there. Mormons are a weird cult. Not as bad as Scientologists but still.

They have a lot of suckers - you are supposed to give 10% of your income to the church yearly.

I really don't understand the hate on brutalism as long as it isn't a town full of it

I don't hate Brutalism because I rather like the forms. But those vast seas of bare concrete really put me off. They look bleak when they're new and just get worse as they age.
