Abandoned places make good settings for fiction. Normally seen in fiction that evokes types of horror, the concept of a place just being ''abandoned'' makes an unnerving feeling in the viewer. It also creates suspense and increases the surprise when it turns out that the place isn't really abandoned. The use of abandoned places as an aesthetic aid, as it normally is, often overlaps with [[Scenery Gorn]]. Depending on the state of the location, it may give a [[Justified Trope|justified example]] of [[No OSHA Compliance]], because, really, would you be bothered with health and safety in somewhere you've abandoned?
