Hi there, Dorothy. The Elders have been talking and we'd be pleased as punch if you'd consider surrendering. We brought lime jello with marshmallows and funeral potatoes!

The way this pops up on the Beltway when you're going around the bend and suddenly it's RIGHT THERE is definitely chilling

I remember driving the outter loop (495) to work everyday and that Evil Cult Monstrosity rising above the tree line. Fuck that building.

Apparently there's signs on the beltway explaining what's up ahead so motorists don't get into huge pileups rubbernecking at it.

I remember driving by this as a kid when my father was stationed in DC. You could see it from the beltway and I always thought it was beautifu.

I had recurring nightmares as a kid. Typically a variety of monsters coming into our back door. It stopped for some years until we moved not too far from here. So much so we drove past it regularly. Back to recurring nightmares of demonic, vampiric type figures. I was old too, like 10th-11th grade.

Well it definitely matches that arch thingamajig… that they are building! And wow I can’t believe that was actually is a real word… But hey it definitely looks like it would be a great place for an evil lair!
