History Main / CreepyCemetery

* ''TheLegendOfZelda'' franchise includes a cemetery in almost every installment, although surprisingly most of them are not actually creepy. Some that are:
** In ''OcarinaOfTime'', Link can drop down into some of the graves to do things like race the ghost of an [[TheCreepyUndertaker Undertaker]] in a creepy maze and fight [[OurZombiesAreDifferent redead]]. Also, it houses the entrance to the spooky shadow temple, and the well isn't too far away from the cemetery.
** Ikana Canyon in ''MajorasMask'' has its own cemetery, but the entire area feels like this to some extent. Inside the cemetery, Link can race against [[DemBones the remains]] of an army officer who died centuries ago, trick his men who dance around graves at night into thinking he [Link] is the officer, and have his men open up the graves to go on adventures underground.
** Oracle of Ages has the Yoll Graveyard, which had ghosts in it as well as the first dungeon in the game. In addition, the final dungeon in the game is located in the same location in the past, and is an ancient tomb blocked by whirlpools. The Yoll Graveyard is also one of the only two places in the entire game that prevents you from time traveling, and distorts the screen if you try.

* The third season of ''{{Charmed}}'' has a few cemetery scenes and it's mentioned a few times that Cole can't be tracked in a cemetery.

* First levels of ''{{MediEvil}}'' are in one huge graveyard.

Cemeteries have long held an air of creepiness. They are places where we bury our loved ones. Places that make us think of unpleasant things.Sometimes the place just manages to creep you out because of the way it looks but there's a reason {{Fantasy}} and {{Horror}} like this setting. It's the birth place of TheUndead and in a ZombieApocalypse, expect every grave to be a ClownCarGrave. If you're lucky, then the local vampire coven didn't get the memo about this not being the best place to sleep. If they didn't you just need to find their AncientTomb and hope there isn't a night guard([[OurVampiresAreDifferent and that they're heavy sleepers]]).

Doesn't have to be supernatural, but does have to be creepy.

* The third season of {{Charmed}} has a few cemetery scenes and it's mentioned a few times Cole can't be tracked in a cemetery.
