People On The Internet Shared 50 Photos Of The Creepiest Corridors They’ve Ever Seen (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertIf you’re a fan of horror movies and video games like us (hi!), then you probably know how much of an impact you can have on the audience with just a single shot of a simple hallway. With the right lighting and decor, you can turn the atmosphere of pretty much any mundane liminal space into something that practically oozes malice and danger.
Our team at Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos of some of the scariest, creepiest, and most sinister-looking corridors ever to exist. Grab your flashlight and flask of holy water, put on your hard hat, and scroll down to start your fear-filled adventure. (…did we just see something skitter in the shadows of that doorway there? Nah, it must’ve been just our imagination...)
We got in touch with Glenn Geher, Ph.D., a professor of Psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a published author, for his thoughts on fear from an evolutionary perspective. You'll find the insights he shared with us below!

I think the "different door handles" is just an illusion because the doors on the right are also recessed and the angle hides the rest of the handle mechanism.

Walk Over Water
Looks like an excellent way to get mould, and stagnant water. The filtration and recirculation system necessary to prevent that can't be cheap. If you want to do steps like these, put them near an outdoor swimming pool.

What Can I Do In This Long Hallway To Liven It Up?
Does This Count As Liminal Or No?
I like my house because it has no liminal spaces. You walk through rooms to get to other rooms. It's different and weird and contractors get lost trying to find their way, but I love it. Hallways are boring and sometimes creepy.
I have a family member who is married to someone in real estate and they have moved many many times (selling at a profit each time) she was bragging about one of the houses they had built for not having any hallways, everything just kind of opens on the living room.
