Happy Halloween, folks! Today, as a special treat, I will be giving you something EXTRA SCARY: 10 (ten)Β πππππππππ ππππππ ππππππππππ from the breezy suburbs of Seattle.Β
If you really want to be scared: all of these houses cost more than $1.5 million dollars despite looking like they were made with, like, thirty dollars. I guess the scariest thing of all for so many of us isΒ ππππππππππππ ππππ πππππ πππππππ ππππππ
Well, without further ado:
#10: Asphalt Purgatory
this house really drives home the banality of ugliness but it gets bonus points for the garage, which gives the great pyramid of Giza a run for its money. 9
#9: Vile βVillaβ
If you really think about it, so many horror stories come true every day if youβre a tree. you know, like helplessly watching someone slaughter your neighbors and friends
#8: Casa del No
(computer voice):Β enhancing
this is just an abomination, completely eviscerating the millennia-long tradition of architectural detailing in the same way facebook has eviscerated the meaning of the wordΒ βtruthβ for millions of old people addicted to insane right-wing conspiracy pages
#7: Thinly-Veiled Window Showroom
sometimes i wonder if people deliberately build these houses just to make me (personally) angry, and this is one of those times.Β
#6: Stop Making Sense: The House
(shouting desperately as Iβm getting dragged away by police) FERNGULLY WAS A DOCUMENTARY
#5: Duckface
did these people build a house just using random parts stolen from other construction sites or somethingΒ
#4: Obligatory Faux Chateau
pin this to your halloween moodboard because this place is definitely cursed in every way imaginableΒ
#3: Great βwoof, thatβs bad,β Lodge
i would make a Twin Peaks joke but none of those gables quite matchΒ
#2: (spooky voice) βcode violationsβ
this is like the luxury cabin in the woods version of groverhausΒ
#1: Please, I beg you, No Mo PoMo
Where to even start with this house. First of all, it is trying to be like 30 different things at once: Italian Villa, French Eclectic, Tugboat, a thinly veiled metaphor for the perils of human indecision. What personally pushed me over the edge was this:
HOW (how??) does this happen? (Mulder writing in his log at the end of an episode of The X-files voice): Only in a world that has forsaken love and truth, in favor of fear and lies, do such abominations unfold.Β
