1. Old abandoned classroom/office.

-  Chairs spilled everywhere
-  Tables overturned

-  Broken bits of equipment.

  1. Hey Sean - yes, lots of moody, desolate scenes here - you're certainly on the right track! (From a technical point of view, you're going to be dealing with texturing, so these examples have lots of it!). Also, I don't know if you've had a chance to view/listen to the uncanny stuff yet, but the defining feature of the the uncanny is when 'the familiar turns on its owner' - or, put another way, it is when something not normally frightening makes us uneasy; so it's the opposite of monsters, spooky castles and torture chambers; it's when the homely (heimlich) becomes its opposite (unheimlich) and here 'home' means spaces and placed from which we would normally derive comfort, security and safety...
