Let's face it. The darkness is scary. Even if you aren't terrified of it by itself, it can sometimes give you a horrible feeling that you're [[Being Watched]], because you just can't see if there's something there. Children everywhere feel nervous about [[Things That Go Bump in the Night|the closet]] or the [[Never Sleep Again|space under the bed]], but while those little bits of darkness are unnerving, there is a place yet creepier. A room where the darkness is the color of pitch, with no little lights ''anywhere'', where even standing still and waiting for your eyes to adjust doesn't help. That room, home of the really, really really scary dark, is the basement.

 

See also [[Torture Cellar]]. If there's a monster locked down there, see [[Madwoman in the Attic]] or [[Room Full of Zombies]].
