Every bad ass has a place they call home. Here are some of my favourites;
Nosferatu – That grand gothic castle on the rocky cliff with minimalist taste in decor in the vast curved concrete walled rooms and stairwells that perfectly distort his shadow. Not exactly what I’d call homely.
Alien Queen – you’re walking through the vast corridors of a stark man made facility with monochrome hard angles and it gradually morphs into a more organic moulded structure that deceivingly looks part of the original architecture. This “secreted resin” is a sign that you must turn your ass around and get the hell outta there. Instead you keep moving and come across an illuminated mist hovering over hundreds of eggs. What the hell is laying these things? Oh…
Freddy Krueger – the boiler room that a lot of victims seem to find their way into during a nightmare no matter where they start out. It seems to be endless and has many dead ends to trap you in.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – chicken feathers (eek!), bones (both animal and human), hooks and a cooler to keep your victims docile until your ready for them.
The Human Centipede – this is quite a beautiful house if not for the goings on inside. It’s very minimalist, has everything in it’s right place and is set in a nice remote area. Dimly lit but cold and clinical like it’s owner.
The Silence of the Lambs – the best lair of them all. An innocuous, working class house in small town America with the labyrinth of hell lying underneath. The well, the sewing room, the moths (oh God I hate moths!) and the work in progress in case you were unsure of what his motives were. You think it can’t get any more fucking terrifying and then he turns the lights out.

I just re-read the title and feel stupid.
