50 Times People Spotted A Building That Looked Straight Up Evil And Had To Share
If you ever came across a building that sent shivers down your spine and looked like something from a dystopian movie, the chances are you encountered an ‘evil building.’ No, we are not saying it’s possessed or anything, but it probably landed in the most villainous collection of architectural wonders on Reddit.
Welcome to Evil Buildings, a subreddit that celebrates structures, houses and establishments that could easily be home to a super villain or evil corporation. Created in 2016, it now has a whopping 904k members and it’s likely to hit a million some time soon.
So get into the Halloween mood, scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!

This Is A Fire Station In Italy. Hail Hydrant!
Mikk Punning 4 years ago
It looks cool actually. Like the architect had a sense of humor. Some would call it postmodern architecture. Although the large black wall seems too expensive to be built from taxpayers.
A B C 4 years ago
Why would a black wall be more expensive than any other kind of wall? 🤔 I found the fire station on Street View (Via Johan Steck 34, Margreid, Alto Adige) btw, it looks like it's a run of the mill concrete wall with black fabric cover

Wonder if the building was designed specifically so the sun would shine through that spot on a specific day and time.
No wonder there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to evil-looking buildings that has a whopping 904k members. A dystopian architecture has been capturing our imagination for years, especially in movies. Think of Blade Runner’s Tyrell Corporation or Robocop’s Omni Consumer Products, the aesthetics of dystopian capitalism is a staple of many films’ key antagonists.
According to 99percentvisible, what’s fascinating about the evil megacorporation is that its architectural aesthetic has remained virtually unchanged throughout its history: brooding Late Modernist (AKA High-tech or Structural Expressionist) buildings have become a well-worn trope, reaching a peak during the sci-fi smorgasbord of the 80s.

It's a temple door in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. It's Padmanabhaswamy Temple.

It's said that it's locked with 'naga paasam mantra' spell. Only a sage who can recite the Garuda mantra in proper way is fabled to open it.

When it comes to a specific architectural period, Modernism has always been at the forefront of a sinister movie. Fritz Lang’s Metropolis with its Art Deco styling and Bond villain’s house are great examples. Other architectural periods of evil corporations include Late Modernism as seen in Evil, Inc. which was inspired by architecture between 1960 and 1980.

Clermont-Ferrand is located in the heart of the Volcans d'Auvergne, a range of extinct (for tens of thousands years) volcanoes.

They're creepy and they're kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They're altogether ooky. The Addams Family. Their house is a museum. When people come to see 'em. They really are a scream. The Addams Family. [snap twice] (Neat) [snap twice] (Sweet) [snap twice] (Petite) So get a witch's shawl on. A broomstick you can crawl on. We're gonna pay a call on. The Addams Family.

The title says it all. That is EXACTLY what this places looks like it would be. Anything else, and I would be totally disappointed.

Gamers Agree, This Is The Most Evilbuilding In Existence
Bacony Cakes 4 years ago
Where dreams go to get crushed up and mangled for a couple years, and then the servers for the dreams are shut down, leaving you with a bunch of physical copies of nothing, and because this is EA, your 60 bucks is left in the pit of lost gaming with no hope of return except for hacking or raiding the building itself.

This is a former headquarters of the socialist party in Bulgaria. The building is going under reconstruction and adaptation works. It will reopen as a museum. More than 60 artist have been working in the original construction phases to complete the mosaics and other details inside.

Thank you for giving us some background about the photo, Eva. It is appreciated, as many times I will see a photo like this and wonder where it is, what happened, etc. Sometimes it is possible to do an internet search for more information but not often...most of the time I am left wondering. So, nicely done. 8)

This is in Memphis, TN. It’s an old arena that was basically unused after the Grizzlies moved to the FedEx Forum. Bass Pro and the city of Memphis renovated it and turned it into their flagship store. I’m not one for Bass Pro but it’s pretty cool what they did to it.

Judging by the people approaching the building (first pic) it might be some sort of historical or tourist site...? Or, just the rich having a party at their retreat. Oh, wait a minute...are they skiing back down? My eyes aren't too good any more.

Ooh...I don't care how "modern" you want to get, that is just horrendous. How can anyone think that is artistic? Just my opinion, though.

Unfortunately, I do not have a picture that I can post, as I took it in 1977. But, to me, the most "scary" and horrible building is the Lubyanka in Moscow. It sits there, grey, even on sunny days, exuding the horror that the people who were incarcerated there experienced. I don't care how they "clean" it up. It is still drenched in the blood of the people who were tortured and murdered there.

The building itself doesn't look too bad (aside from being squat and ugly) but when you know its back story (e.g., "the Great Purge"), it becomes much more hideous. They should tear that one down.
