China's Abandoned Wonderland In Chenzhuang Village, China, about 20 miles northwest of central Beijing, the ruins of a partially built amusement park called Wonderland sit near a highway, surrounded by houses and fields of corn. Construction work at the park, which developers had promised would be "the largest amusement park in Asia," stopped around 1998 after disagreements with the local government and farmers over property prices. Developers briefly tried to restart construction in 2008, but without success. The abandoned structures are now a draw for local children and a few photographers, who encounter signs telling them to proceed at their own risk.

But rather than seek out the obvious choices, we decided to delve a little deeper and pick out the best examples of animators taking a sideways glance at the horror genre and doing something a little different with it. Some of these are funny, some are scary, but all are to be commended for both technique and originality. So, on with the show... 01. A really creepy atmosphere is created in this face painting stop motion animation by Erica Luke. 02. A sinister dear creature is conjured up in the mind of a man during a dramatic car crash. 03.

11 Things That Didn’t Work in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Foley is Fairly Dumb, But Doesn’t Even Get a Hero’s Death Foley (Matthew Modine) never trusts Commissioner Gordon.
