The creepy abandoned hospital/[[Bedlam House|mental institution]] is a common setting in horror. Dirty tiles, broken cabinets, corpses in bloodstained lab coats/nurse uniforms, and rusted metal bed frames are all common themes. Other themes include [[Cold -Blooded Torture|grisly]] [[Mad Scientist|medical]] [[Playing With Syringes|experiments]] and [[Body Horror|deformed, inhuman monsters]] shambling about, as well as using medical equipment as [[Torture Cellar|torture devices]].
 
Even without all these things hospitals are pretty creepy to begin with. Maybe because hospitals are associated with illness and death, as well as being places that should be clean. Or perhaps it's because most people are afraid of hospitals for several reasons: germs; the stale, blaring white atmosphere; doctors poking and prodding you with weird and often painful instruments... not to mention [[Afraid of Needles|needles...]]

See also [[Abandoned Warehouse]] and [[Never Recycle a Building]]. When a character wakes up in a newly-abandoned hospital, that's an [[Abandoned Hospital Awakening]].
