Subways are a staple of horror. There are long, dirty, abandoned corridors. There are escalators which invite vertigo and all kinds of fatal accidents. There are the endless tunnels, much like the [[Haunted Castle]], but with the added charm only a [[Water Level]] with poor lighting and escalating claustrophobia can bring. Full of unexplained echoes, dripping water, clanking metal and chains, and the earthquake-like passing of other (functional) subway trains passing overhead. There is the subway itself, which can be full of criminals, dangerously overcrowded or numinously empty. And let's not forget the platforms, which can be dimly lit and full of hiding places for all kinds of evil.
 
Expect the [['''Sinister Subway]]''' to be populated by [[Our Monsters Are Different|monsters]], [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|alligators]], [[Mutants|mutants]], [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]], [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|mutant vampire alligators]], and good old [[Serial Killer|Serial Killers]]s...or, alternativey, miles and miles of darkly lit, empty [[Nothing Is Scarier|nothing]].
 
Where a [[Haunted Castle]] says "[[Victorian London|Victorian]]", the [[Sinister Subway]] says "art deco" or even "[[Diesel PunkDieselpunk|industrial]]", and can set the tone of this horror game or movie with the broken promises of an industrial age, rather than the forgotten splendor of a Victorian past.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
 
* ''[[Vampire Princess Miyu]]'', in one of the first episodes. Even after she finished exorcising the Shinma who'd made his home there, the place remained very, very, VERY''very'' creepy.
== Anime ==
** {{spoiler|Especially as she only killed the villain but did nothing to ease the suffering of his [[Taken for Granite|victims]].}}
 
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' features one of these. It ended with a barely-fended-off stampede of rats. Considering it was [[The Ojou]]'s first attempt at taking a subway, not surprisingly she never tried ''that'' again, sticking with nice, safe, normal private jet travel.

* ''[[Hellsing]]'': Episode 7 of the original anime takes place in [[The London Underground]], battling vampires and a particularly tenacious priest.
* The opening scene of ''[[Blood: theThe Last Vampire]]'' takes place in a subway. Subverted in that {{spoiler|the person Saya was chasing wasn't actually a Chiropteran.}}
* ''[[The Big O (Anime)|The Big O]]'': Somewhat subverted, as, while the subways of Paradigm City are not used by the residents for fear that they are haunted, they are actually quite safe, and are used by the eponymous robot and Roger Smith for secret transport,. however However, ''below'' the subway are numerous "facilities" that are so scary, even Roger Smith doesn't venture that deep.
* One episode of ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]] Best Wishes]]'' showed Team Rocket running one of these {{spoiler|and having Meowth pretend to be fired from them to lure Ash and friends into their subway to steal their Pokemon.}}
 
 
== Fan Works ==
 
* ''[[Supernatural]]'': The genuinely creepy and very well-written [[Fanfic]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3244523/1/Blood_on_the_Tracks Blood on the Tracks]'' centres around, as the name implies, a [[Sinister Subway]].

* ''[[Supernatural]]'': The genuinely creepy and very well-written ''[[Supernatural]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3244523/1/Blood_on_the_Tracks Blood on the Tracks]'' centres around, as the name implies, a [[Sinister Subway]].
 
== Fan Works[[Film]] ==
* ''[[Moebius (film)|Moebius]]'' is a Argentinean film that features as protagonist the Buenos Aires subway, the "Subte". An ambitious and peculiar layout that tries to connect all the lines ends in an [[Alien Geometries|entangling figure]] akin to a Möbius Strip that ruptures the continuum of timespace, situating the speeding train in a neverending loop out of reach from our dimension... with [[Fate Worse Than Death|thirty passengers on board]]. [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt corporate executives]] and [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|neglectful government employees]] are involved in this mess, and hire a [[Mad Mathematician|topologist]] to [[Mathematician's Answer|fix the problem]]. Based on a 1950 SF story, ''A Subway Named Möbius'' by A. J. Deutsch.
* ''Death Line'' and ''Creep'', both horror movies set in the [[London Underground]].
* Then there's Hobbs Lane Station in the film version of ''[[Quatermass and The Pit]]'' - not exactly abandoned, just closed for renovation, and the focus of unearthly events.
* ''[[The Matrix]]'' films. While they aren't quite "abandoned", they certainly have an air of creepiness to them.
* ''[[Cloverfield]]'' has a very spooky sequence in a subway tunnel, {{spoiler|which climaxes rather frighteningly when the cameraman turns on the nightvision}}.
* An early scene of ''[[Jacobs Ladder|Jacob's Ladder]]'' has the title character lost in a New York subway station. Though he doesn't encounter anything supernatural, the atmosphere is almost unbearably dark and creepy.
* ''[[Spider -Man (Filmfilm)|Spider-Man 3]]'' includes a fight scene between Sandman and a venom-suited Spider-Man along the Subway tracks.
* ''[[Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters 2]]'' has a [[Sinister Subway]] sequence with a Ghost Train to boot. And severed heads on pikes.
* ''[[Blade|Blade 3]]'' has a <s>toupe</s> troupe of newly turned teenage vampires try to turn a local subway station into their own personal buffet. It would have worked if their first victim didn't have silver tipped knives and an energy bow.
* Inverted in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Filmfilm)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II]]'', The Turtles new subway home is bright and cheery with elegant art deco styling and stained glass accessories.
** It's also played straight as April is attacked by the Foot in the standard "dark and dirty" subway.
* ''[[Twenty Eight28 Weeks Later]]'' has the heroes flee into the London Underground to escape an attack helicopter and the rampaging zombie horde. Naturally, it's full of bodies and only one person has night vision (on the scope of her rifle).
* The Hungarian film ''[[Kontroll (Film)|Kontroll]]''. Before the film begins, a Budapest subway official assures the viewers that the subway is, in reality, perfectly safe. This was a condition for granting the filmmakers access to the subway.
* ''Phantom of the Opera'': If we are to believe Robert Englund, if there'd been a sequel to his version, most of it would've been in an abandoned subway station.
* Luc Besson's ''Subway'': Inverted. The subway system is a playing ground for some, and to others it's their home.
Line 50 ⟶ 45:
* ''[[The Midnight Meat Train]]'': Leon Kauffman, a photographer, is attempting to find the "real" New York City. He begins to delve into the city's inner "darkness", and while there, discovers a monstrous serial killer roaming the subways.
* The action of ''Mimic'' takes place mostly in a subway system.
* ''Stag Night'', which is pretty much ''[[Wrong Turn (Film)|Wrong Turn]]'' [[Recycled in Space|IN A SUBWAY SYSTEM]].
* ''[[The Tunnel (film)|The Tunnel]]'', Australian based horror movie. Similar again, except that it is based on actual events prior. The government did stop talking about the reservoir mysteriously, and film crews do actually go down there where there is hard-to-find hobos. Then add a superhuman stalker who's afraid of the light and you have one very creepy movie. Which could've as easily occurred with a regular stalker.

* In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'', the genie's fullomyth (a play on the filofax[[wikipedia:Filofax|Filofax]]) includes a map of the London Underground with the hidden stations most people don't know about. It's not shown, but presumably they have at least a passing resemblance to the [[Sinister Subway]] stations.
* ''[[Neverwhere]]'s'{{'}}s London Below, which is essentially where everything that has ever slipped the cracks in the real world goes, has a few scenes with abandoned stations.
* [[Clive Barker]]'s short story ''[[The Midnight Meat Train]]'', and its film adaptation.
* The whole point of Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel ''[[Metro 2033]]'', where the [[Moscow Metro]] stations became shelters for a few survivors [[After the End|after]] [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]], with all manners of nasty stuff lurking in the tunnels. All this makes communication between stations quite risky and outright dangerous, naturally setting up [[The Quest]].
* Parts of ''Reliquary'' take place in abandoned subway tunnels (and active ones, like when the creatures massacre the occupants of a train)
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Twenty Four|24]]'' positively adored this. Many times they took advantage in the [[Los Angeles]] subway's middle-of-the-night 90-minute break to blow it up a few times.

* Half of the first level in Ghost Sweeper Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body, for the Super Famicom.
* ''[[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]]'' has an abandoned subway section as well, but it's just full of (otherwise) homeless people - which is [[Truth in Television]], as abandoned sections of the New York subway are often occupied by sizable homeless communities.
* ''[[Condemned|Condemned: Criminal Origins]]'' has one populated by crazy hobos, emo morlocks, [[Ju On|Kayako Saeki]] lookalikes, and freakish firemen with sledgehammers.

Line 90 ⟶ 80:

* ''Hellnight'', a Japanese first person video game about being trapped and unarmed in the maze-like Tokyo subway system, along with various other scattered survivors, while being hunted down by a demonic creature. Did I also mention the serial killer running around?
* ''[[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R. Extraction Point]]'' (the [[Expansion Pack|expansion pack]]) had "Descent", its longest chapter, set in a Subway system (along with some storm drains).
** Part of ''Project Origin'' involves moving through a city's subway system after [[The Squad]]'s driver is forced to veer into a gap in the street to avoid a massive assault by Replica troops. For the most part the subway system is abandoned, save for the hundreds of Replica troops combing it for you specifically.
* ''[[Tomb Raider]] III'' had a level set in the Aldwych subway station. [http://underground-history.co.uk/aldwych.php The bottom of this page] includes a description of it.
* Inverted in ''[[Hellgate: London]]'', where [[The London Underground]] is the only place NOT infested with demons.

* ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'': The second level of the "No Mercy" campaign takes you through subway tunnels.
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'': A great number of quests take place in the Washington D.C./Arlington, VA subway lines. Which are filled with Feral Ghouls (read: slavering zombies that run really fast), mole rats (scarier than they sound) and psychotic, sadistic Raiders.
* ''[[Max Payne (Video Gameseries)|Max Payne]]'': After the depressing opening level, we skip forward a few years, as Max is meeting up with a DEA agent in the subway. Things don't go well.
* ''Shadowman'' for the N64. One level is through a crashed and bashed subway system in order to get to Jack The Ripper. No, really. In fact, subways full of wandering bad guys seem to be a staple for the N64 (not that ''Shadowman'' was exclusive to the system). Both Duke Nukem games. Turok 3. James Bond's ''The World Is Not Enough'' (which, in a subversion, has occasional bystanders and operating trains).
* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' has Travis fighting [[Mooks]] in the stations and trains of an abandoned (but still functional) subway system a few times. {{spoiler|He falls asleep on one train and dreams a [[Shoot'Em Up]] minigame.}}
Line 105 ⟶ 95:
* The ''[[Call of Duty|Call Of Duty: World at War]]'' level "Eviction" ends with a semi-lit shootout in a dark, dank Berlin metro tunnel, with occasional pauses in the fighting due to flickering lights. The level ends with the Nazis flooding the entire network in an effort to stop you, drowning scores of their own troops in the process. The multiplayer map "Station" is similar, though brighter due to the fact that the tunnel has partially collapsed.
* The setting of ''[[Metro 2033]]: The Last Refuge'', a game based on the aforementioned novel by Dmitriy Gluhovskiy.
* The ''[[Spider -Man]]'' game for the [[PS 1PlayStation|PS1]] had a level where Spidey had to ride a moving train from one station to the other. He gets attacked by an endless horde of lizard people for some reason.
* ''Future Cop LAPD'' has a level starting out like this, where you fight mainly mutants. It gets kinda crazy as you go further down...

* One of the missions in ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'' involves Mike fighting/sneaking through the Taipei subway system while Chinese Secret Police agents try to stop him, in order to get information on the assassination plot. {{spoiler|It eventually turns out that the CSP agents are actually working for a double agent who is working with the Taiwainese government to prevent the same assassination, but are convinced that Mike is the killer.}}
* The first mission of ''[[Soldier of Fortune]]'' is in the New York subway. Mission 6 also has a subway tunnel with electrified rails.

* In Singapore, one station on the North-East Line, Woodleigh, was built and completed in the early 2000s but never opened due to lack of much commercial or residential developments nearby (another station that was left unopened, Buangkok (not to be confused with Bangkok), created much controversy and was finally opened a few years later). The kicker? The station is built under ''a former cemetery''. Another station on the still-under-construction portion of the Circle Line, Bukit Brown, is being deliberately left half-finished (and obviously will not be opened), with just ventilation shafts marking the location of the station on the surface. The station is built as a provision for a future residential town that will be built in the area. And the kicker here? That area is yet another cemetery ''that has not been cleared or exhumed yet''.
* Rochester, New York [http://rocwiki.org/Abandoned_Subway has one], which is surprising given the city's small size. The subway opened in 1927 but was plagued by inadequate resources and the growth of the automobile industry. It was closed after World War II but its wonderfully creepy ambiance (complete with an underground pool and pitch-black passages with no natural light) has made it a favorite of urban explorers and photographers. It's also homeless central.
* The Belgian city of Charleroi had its own [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleroi_MetroCharleroi Metro|subway system]] built in the 1980s despite being way too small (pop. around 400.,000 and dropping) to ever make running it remotely profitable. AIt's the result of insane Belgian politics allocating equal amounts of money to infrastructural projects on both sides of the language border (the north built a port that still serves its purpose). The original plans included 8eight metro lines, only 3three of which were built, and one of those waswaited ''twenty years'' to neverbe usedopened despite being fully completed. A fourth was ''almost'' completed. As a result, some tunnels and stations have been decaying oversince the pastlate 25 years1980s without ever having seen any train passing, although they are fully operational, including working signage and, occasionally, even the escalators.

* Madrid Metro has the [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estaci%C3%B3n_de_Chamber%C3%AD Chamberi station], that was closed in 1966 as it was too close to other two of the same line. During some decades, as trains slowed down when crossing it, it was possible to see from them 60's vintage stuff (posters, turnstiles, etc). It was re-opened in 2008 as a museum.
