Halloween is fast approaching, and听I can’t be the only one who is getting a bit bored of photos of people dressed up as zombies. I mean, but they’re everywhere. Sure, they can make a good stock image but if I’m going to look at some genuinely ‘haunting’ images then I’d much rather go for something like these abandoned places.
There’s something about the stillness, the thought of what was once there before and the eerie quiet that makes them not only compelling but also pretty unsettling.
Moody and atmospheric, these images are a sight to behold and take inspiration from. You can keep your fake blood and plastic fangs selfies to Snapchat thanks.
