Architecture Happy Days

Posted by on Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 1:51 PM

Looking at these images of the lifeless amusement park, "Koga Family Land," in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, we almost hear the echoic laughter of phantom children and the dead dub of happy music.

Has there been a decent horror movie set in an amusement park? Other than "Killer Clowns from Outer Space," of course. If not, someone should get on that.

They should film a post-apocalyptic flick there.

@13: The new one looks terrible, but the old one sounds watchable.

@14: I can't believe I had never heard of that! Amazing!

@15: I've seen that, I don't remember anything about an amusement park... also, it's a cartoon. Not quite the same.

Still, it appears to be about time to make an actually scary, non-sucky movie set in an amusement park. This place looks perfect.

Amazing, incredible photos. Another vote for Best Mudede Post Ever.

Also, total "Spirited Away" flashback.
