Malignant Architecture? by

Earlier I was thinking about such things as Bad End and the Hostile Hostel, and wondered what it would be like if there were a whole neighborhood of 'malignant architecture' as it is called. There's not anything concrete yet, but it's an interesting idea.
So, can anybody think of a misspelled building (or any type of architecture at all, statues, sculptures, skyscrapers, anything at all) that might appear in such a place? -

Well there could always be stachoos - statues with a sneezing problem.
I could also imagine, in a neighbourhood like that, that certain canonical and non-mispelled things might like to move in - e.g. Weeping Angels (didn't somebody find a Weeping Angle once?), gargoyles, Blockers etc. Perhaps they'd be the only residents to dare live in such buildings...
On a related note: how about the Witch Wall from OFUM? -

Weeping Angles?
I have the mental image of angles (the 2-d kind) that constantly cry, or move after you when you aren't looking. The second would be very creepy, but kind of hard to put logic to. -
Wasn't that a 15° angle a second ago? Now it's easily 50°! (nm) by

I think you're reading it backwards. It's 310°. by

After all, given what we know about Weeping Angels (and their Angular kin)... can the change be anything but a reflex?

top holiday destination.
I wonder what the entire town would be called? Punville? Oh, no, wait, I know! E-Ville! -

There's the wherehouse (which you can never find) and the werehouse (spoiler: That's not a shag carpet! Also, run)...
The Tower of Terror is a bit of a cliché at this point, but it's a classic for a reason. Its counterpart, the skyscreeper, is very stealthy. Sometimes, when you turn around, you see it there looming over you and hissing softly...
That's all I've got off the top of my head. -

Those are good ones. I never thought of that one for the skyscraper. The closes I could come up with was the skyscarper, runs about very fast on an army of tiny feet. Like the Luggage, but far larger and more timid. Come to think of it, a skyscarper would be scared of the Luggage…
Huh.
