By the time Galadriel finds it, it's been abandoned by centuries, but whatever evil Sauron did there is still there. The place is infused with black magic, corpses of Orcs are literally melted on its walls, and the fire from torches can give any heat at all.

** The town that the series takes place in is one of these. People arrive in it on the same road from different locations all over the country, it's a ClosedCircle that can't be exited once entered, all the buildings have power despite the lack of a power grid (or even actual wires in the power cables), and of course, there's the [[HumanoidAbomination monsters]] that come out every night [[spoiler: from tunnels under the town]] to kill everyone they come across.
** The forest surrounding the town as well.

** The TARDIS is one in [[LivingShip living]], [[AllegedCar alleged ship]] form, BiggerOnTheInside to the point of possibly having infinite space within.
** The Doctor has been to the extrauniversal E-Space, multiple parallel universes, and once simply PARKED OUTSIDE REALITY. Humanity found a way to build a space station that would continue to exist after the end of the universe. Not in the next universe, or the Void, in a by then non-existent universe. It worked.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E2PlanetOfEvil "Planet of Evil"]]: Zeta Minor, where strange beings lurk and try to prevent catastrophe caused by removing material from the place.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E8TheImpossiblePlanet "The Impossible Planet"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E9TheSatanPit "The Satan Pit"]]: The titular planet is the prison of a being that claims to be the ultimate source of evil in the universe, and indeed ''older'' than the universe, and it's parked in an unnatural orbit around a black hole.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia "Utopia"]] has the Doctor travel to near the end of the universe, finding desperate humans trying to flee from the vampire-like Futurekind.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife "The Doctor's Wife"]]: House is ''particularly'' eldritch, being a sentient asteroid living in a pocket dimension that feeds on [=TARDISes=].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E9ItTakesYouAway "It Takes You Away"]] introduces the concept of an "antizone", a between-space created at points in time and space where reality is under terrible threat. The one the Doctor and companions enter is a dark maze filled with flesh-eating moths, populated by a mysterious alien who somehow managed to enter such a place. In this instance it exists as a buffer zone to what's called the Solitract, a sentient plane of existence so eldritch that the universe couldn't form until they were separated and remain separated on all levels.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall "Spyfall"]]: The home dimension of the [[EldritchAbomination Kasaavin]] is a dark, misty realm filled with an endless forest of cables. [[spoiler:The Doctor's encounter with Ada Gordon there indicates it's also a PlaceBeyondTime, since Ada is coming from 1834 while the Doctor was just teleported from 2020.]] And the only known way to get in or out is to somehow get the Kasaavin to do it...
* In ''Series/{{Fargo}}'' the stories are spread over a large Midwest area consisting of Minnesota and the Dakotas. They are shown in a perpetual state of winter, and the area attracts an unseemly amount of gang violence and brutal crime. It also attracts flying saucers and an assassin implied to be the Devil himself, and contains a bowling alley that may be a portal to the afterlife.
* [[RealityWarper Einstein's]] Realm in ''Series/{{Farscape}}.'' Reachable only by wormhole, it acts as a meeting ground between the representative of the True Ancients and anyone knowledgeable enough to be dangerous to them: it's basically an iceberg floating in an ocean of wormholes beneath a pitch-black sky. Due to Einstein's influence, physics tend to behave quite strangely here, and Crichton often ends up speaking to long-dead individuals from his past and tumbling into [[AlternateUniverse Unrealized Realities]].
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The Land of Always Winter, beyond the Wall. The stories told about it and the fact that it's the home of the White Walkers is bad enough, but when Jon and his team actually go there, they quickly find that it’s completely and utterly ''dead''; there’s no plants, no animals, no people... just endless plains of ice and snow, dotted by the occasional frozen lake and aimless wight. The sun never shines through the clouds and the snowfall never stops, like a hellish version of Antarctica in the winter. Worse, it’s implied that the White Walkers are trying to make it ''spread''; Dany and Bran both have visions of a BadFuture where the White Walkers win, and in both Westeros ends up looking just like the Land Of Always Winter. And when [[spoiler:the Night King attacks Winterfell, he brings a massive snowstorm just like those beyond the Wall, which only dissipates once he’s killed.]]
* ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse'': Hill House itself. Anyone who stays on the property after dark is likely to see or hear somethings, and for the psychically sensitive things are worse. [[spoiler:Anyone who dies on the property stays there as a ghost, and the Red Room, the house's "stomach", lures people to their deaths so they can stay in it forever]].
%%* ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'': The Helheim Forest. And it's ''entering our world.''
* ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'': Welcome to Royston Vasey, you'll never leave. A very accurate claim given that a considerable part of the population are not [[HumanoidAbomination just grotesque, half-insane freaks of nature, because they very much spit at the laws of nature and have something inexplicably supernatural about them]]. Now the place is not entirely beyond logic though and there is a more natural down-to-earth side to Vasey and there is no better way to describe it than Cloudcuckooland.
* The eponymous hotel room of ''Series/TheLostRoom'', more so the area around where it is supposed to be, including the room that (was?) next to it.
* The Valley of the Fallen Kings in ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}''. The first time we see it, it's revealed that the Crystal Cave, the source of all magic, is hidden in the valley. And is also a very good example of GoodIsNotNice, as it's perfectly willing to subject Merlin to MindRape and a chain of [[SelfFulfillingProphecy Self-Fulfilling Prophecies]] to teach him a lesson. Arthur constantly says that the Valley is harmless unless you're superstitious, but even he and the Knights avoid it if they possibly can.
** The Dark Tower, very much so. In addition to the stories young knights are apparently told to scare them away from it, it is surrounded by a forest that, in addition to being nigh impenetrable, reverses directions so you can only get out if you have help. It also looks rather terrifying and Queen Mab gives Merlin some rather disturbing advice:
--->'''Queen Mab''': You must beware, Emrys. The Tower is not a real place. It is the heart's rest, the mind's deepest fear, the stillness in the hummingbird's eye.
*** And this was ''before'' we knew what it did to the people that the High Priestesses brought inside: it tortured them until the screams could be heard from twenty leagues away and then bound their spirit, leaving their body an empty vessel for another's will to inhabit. The process is nightmare-inducing, and we get to see it all from [[spoiler:Gwen]], the victim's, perspective.
* ''Series/Room104'': The motel room itself appears to be one, attracting all manner of bizarre and downright supernatural events; [[spoiler:the motel's first owner murdered her brother on the site that would become the room, resulting in her (and the ground) being cursed by a frightening, inhuman being.]]
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** The Q Continuum, home of the ([[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien supposedly]]) omnipotent and omniscient species known as the Q (and also sometimes used as a name for the species itself). When we saw it on-screen in two Voyager episodes, it appeared first as a [[CaliforniaDoubling gas station on a desert highway]] and then as a battlefield from the American Civil War (when the Q were fighting their own civil war). This was probably done due to the show's budget constraints, and was justified by explaining that the Continuum [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm cannot be perceived by a humanoid as it truly exists]], and thus it will appear as an analogue from the viewer's culture. In one TNG novel, the android Lt. Commander Data is taken to the Continuum and forced to perceive it in its true form. This causes him to shut down as the result of the sensory overload.
** Another Star Trek example is the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation]]'' episode "[[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Remember_Me_%28episode%29 Remember Me]]," in which an experiment with warp bubbles goes wrong and sucks Dr. Crusher into some kind of parallel dimension shaped by the thoughts she was having at the moment she was trapped. It appears to be a replica of the ''Enterprise,'' except all the other crew members start vanishing one by one and no one except Crusher remembers they existed. Then it gets even worse. Dr. Crusher activates a view screen and sees a "warp energy field" encasing the ship. After establishing that there is no penetrating the field, she asks the computer to define the universe. It replies, "THE UNIVERSE IS A SPHEROID REGION 705 METERS IN DIAMETER". The computer says that there is '''nothing outside of the ship'''.
** Just before asking that question, Dr. Crusher asked the computer the diameter of the energy field surrounding the ship was. The computer replied that it was ''715'' meters in diameter. That is not a typo; the field had shrunk 10 meters between questions, and continued to shrink throughout the episode.
** Crusher spends most of the episode thinking she's going insane, and with everyone around her apparently certain she is (until they disappear, that is). The turning point occurs when, after exhaustive tests show nothing wrong with her brain, it finally occurs to her: "If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe ''there's something wrong with the universe''."
** A prior episode, "Where Silence Has Lease", does this with a Federation starship -- or, more accurately, an illusion of the USS ''Yamato'', a sister ship of the ''Enterprise''. While on TheBridge, Riker and Worf open a door -- that leads to the bridge, and they see themselves on the duplicate bridge. This, naturally, confuses the hell out of Worf.
---> "There is '''one bridge'''! One Riker, one bridge!"
** From ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', there's Fluidic Space. It's an extradimensional realm where there are no stars or planets or anything else of mass. Everything is just a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin organic soup]] there. The only life form that has ever been encountered there is the equally [[EldritchAbomination eldritch]] Species 8472, which the Borg consider the apex of biological life.
** Another episode has ''Voyager'' trapped in a phenomenon called "chaotic space," which is inhabited by aliens that can't be seen directly and can only communicate with certain people via hallucinations.
** And at one point, they become trapped in a stellar phenomena known only as "The Void", a weird fold in space without so much as a micron of matter inside. Ships drawn in survive by raiding other ships.
** Season 3 of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' takes place in the Delphic Expanse, a region infamous for [[NegativeSpaceWedgie inexplicable anomalies]] and even large areas that aren't entirely in this universe. This is revealed to be the work of aliens from another realm who are altering the galaxy to suit them; once they're defeated, the Expanse turns into normal space.
* The Upside Down in ''Series/StrangerThings''. It is a DarkWorld version of Hawkins, a creepy, dark place covered by MeatMoss and home to monsters like the [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Demogorgon and the Mind Flayer]].
* Heaven in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
** Every human's heaven is a LotusEaterMachine, basically just the best moment of your life over and over again but in all but a few rare cases involving soul mates, your loved ones are merely projections. [[spoiler: In the SeriesFinale, Jack reorganizes Heaven so everyone can be with their loved ones.]]
** Purgatory is a dimension where monster souls go when they die. It's a forested place where all creatures live in a state of hunting or being hunted. Food and sleep don't seem to be a thing, just hand-to-hand combat. It's considered particularly hostile to angels and humans but [[spoiler: Dean Winchester thinks of his time there as pure. Castiel, on the other hand, suffers greatly but refuses to leave because he feels it necessary to do penance for his past actions.]]
** The Empty is a dimension outside our universe and understanding where angels go when they die and exist in a perpetual sleep state. It's also sentient, and it becomes annoyed with Castiel for not sleeping.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E91LittleGirlLost Little Girl Lost]]", the other dimension to which Tina Miller is sent is a bizarre, abstract realm which distorts perceptions. For instance, Tina's father Chris believed that he was standing upright in spite of the fact that his legs were still on the other side of the portal.
* ''Series/TwinPeaks'' has numerous examples:
** The Red Room. A world where people speak backwards, time works... differently, and [[spoiler: the resident Spirits feed on human pain and sorrow. The lodge itself is really just a series of identical rooms with red curtains and a zig-zag patterned floor. Or it could be that it is just the same room repeated over and over.]] It is either the Black Lodge itself or a place between the Black and White Lodges.
** The Room Above the Convenience Store. [[spoiler:The apparent meeting place of the Lodge Spirits, implied to be a time loop of the exact moment the Trinity Nuclear Explosion occurred.]]
** The Black and White Lodges. The Black Lodge (beneath the floor of the Red Room) is an [[spoiler:infinite sea of stars with a single floating "room" where time works... wrong. Meanwhile, the White Lodge is a massive fortress in the middle of a purple ocean that stretches beyond the eye can see.]]
** ''The Return'' continues to add places like [[spoiler:the inside of a nuclear explosion.]]
** Several locations and objects create a connection to the supernatural world including The Palmer House, 2240 Sycamore, Glastonbury Circle, Jack Rabbit Palace, and The Dutchman. [[spoiler:They all open portals to other dimensions or are frequented by Lodge Spirits, warping them in some way or another.]]
* Played for laughs in ''Series/TheYoungOnes''. The students' house looks like a normal council house, but it is in fact filled with sentient furniture, a [[GenieInABottle teapot with a genie in it]], a TV that spits out characters, and a [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe wardrobe that leads to Narnia]]. [[GenreBlindness The four complain that nothing ever happens]].

* [[RealityWarper Einstein's]] Realm in ''Series/{{Farscape}}.'' Reachable only by wormhole, it acts as a meeting ground between the representative of the True Ancients and anyone knowledgeable enough to be dangerous to them: it's basically an iceberg floating in an ocean of wormholes beneath a pitch-black sky. Due to Einstein's influence, physics tend to behave quite strangely here, and Crichton often ends up speaking to long-dead individuals from his past and tumbling into [[AlternateUniverse Unrealized Realities]].
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The Land of Always Winter, beyond the Wall. The stories told about it and the fact that it's the home of the White Walkers is bad enough, but when Jon and his team actually go there, they quickly find that it’s completely and utterly ''dead''; there’s no plants, no animals, no people... just endless plains of ice and snow, dotted by the occasional frozen lake and aimless wight. The sun never shines through the clouds and the snowfall never stops, like a hellish version of Antarctica in the winter. Worse, it’s implied that the White Walkers are trying to make it ''spread''; Dany and Bran both have visions of a BadFuture where the White Walkers win, and in both Westeros ends up looking just like the Land Of Always Winter. And when [[spoiler:the Night King attacks Winterfell, he brings a massive snowstorm just like those beyond the Wall, which only dissipates once he’s killed.]]
* ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse'': Hill House itself. Anyone who stays on the property after dark is likely to see or hear somethings, and for the psychically sensitive things are worse. [[spoiler:Anyone who dies on the property stays there as a ghost, and the Red Room, the house's "stomach", lures people to their deaths so they can stay in it forever]].
%%* ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'': The Helheim Forest. And it's ''entering our world.''
* ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'': Welcome to Royston Vasey, you'll never leave. A very accurate claim given that a considerable part of the population are not [[HumanoidAbomination just grotesque, half-insane freaks of nature, because they very much spit at the laws of nature and have something inexplicably supernatural about them]]. Now the place is not entirely beyond logic though and there is a more natural down-to-earth side to Vasey and there is no better way to describe it than Cloudcuckooland.
* The eponymous hotel room of ''Series/TheLostRoom'', more so the area around where it is supposed to be, including the room that (was?) next to it.
* The Valley of the Fallen Kings in ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}''. The first time we see it, it's revealed that the Crystal Cave, the source of all magic, is hidden in the valley. And is also a very good example of GoodIsNotNice, as it's perfectly willing to subject Merlin to MindRape and a chain of [[SelfFulfillingProphecy Self-Fulfilling Prophecies]] to teach him a lesson. Arthur constantly says that the Valley is harmless unless you're superstitious, but even he and the Knights avoid it if they possibly can.
** The Dark Tower, very much so. In addition to the stories young knights are apparently told to scare them away from it, it is surrounded by a forest that, in addition to being nigh impenetrable, reverses directions so you can only get out if you have help. It also looks rather terrifying and Queen Mab gives Merlin some rather disturbing advice:
--->'''Queen Mab''': You must beware, Emrys. The Tower is not a real place. It is the heart's rest, the mind's deepest fear, the stillness in the hummingbird's eye.
*** And this was ''before'' we knew what it did to the people that the High Priestesses brought inside: it tortured them until the screams could be heard from twenty leagues away and then bound their spirit, leaving their body an empty vessel for another's will to inhabit. The process is nightmare-inducing, and we get to see it all from [[spoiler:Gwen]], the victim's, perspective.
* ''Series/Room104'': The motel room itself appears to be one, attracting all manner of bizarre and downright supernatural events; [[spoiler:the motel's first owner murdered her brother on the site that would become the room, resulting in her (and the ground) being cursed by a frightening, inhuman being.]]
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** The Q Continuum, home of the ([[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien supposedly]]) omnipotent and omniscient species known as the Q (and also sometimes used as a name for the species itself). When we saw it on-screen in two Voyager episodes, it appeared first as a [[CaliforniaDoubling gas station on a desert highway]] and then as a battlefield from the American Civil War (when the Q were fighting their own civil war). This was probably done due to the show's budget constraints, and was justified by explaining that the Continuum [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm cannot be perceived by a humanoid as it truly exists]], and thus it will appear as an analogue from the viewer's culture. In one TNG novel, the android Lt. Commander Data is taken to the Continuum and forced to perceive it in its true form. This causes him to shut down as the result of the sensory overload.
** Another Star Trek example is the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation]]'' episode "[[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Remember_Me_%28episode%29 Remember Me]]," in which an experiment with warp bubbles goes wrong and sucks Dr. Crusher into some kind of parallel dimension shaped by the thoughts she was having at the moment she was trapped. It appears to be a replica of the ''Enterprise,'' except all the other crew members start vanishing one by one and no one except Crusher remembers they existed. Then it gets even worse. Dr. Crusher activates a view screen and sees a "warp energy field" encasing the ship. After establishing that there is no penetrating the field, she asks the computer to define the universe. It replies, "THE UNIVERSE IS A SPHEROID REGION 705 METERS IN DIAMETER". The computer says that there is '''nothing outside of the ship'''.
** Just before asking that question, Dr. Crusher asked the computer the diameter of the energy field surrounding the ship was. The computer replied that it was ''715'' meters in diameter. That is not a typo; the field had shrunk 10 meters between questions, and continued to shrink throughout the episode.
** Crusher spends most of the episode thinking she's going insane, and with everyone around her apparently certain she is (until they disappear, that is). The turning point occurs when, after exhaustive tests show nothing wrong with her brain, it finally occurs to her: "If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe ''there's something wrong with the universe''."
** A prior episode, "Where Silence Has Lease", does this with a Federation starship -- or, more accurately, an illusion of the USS ''Yamato'', a sister ship of the ''Enterprise''. While on TheBridge, Riker and Worf open a door -- that leads to the bridge, and they see themselves on the duplicate bridge. This, naturally, confuses the hell out of Worf.
---> "There is '''one bridge'''! One Riker, one bridge!"
** From ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', there's Fluidic Space. It's an extradimensional realm where there are no stars or planets or anything else of mass. Everything is just a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin organic soup]] there. The only life form that has ever been encountered there is the equally [[EldritchAbomination eldritch]] Species 8472, which the Borg consider the apex of biological life.
** Another episode has ''Voyager'' trapped in a phenomenon called "chaotic space," which is inhabited by aliens that can't be seen directly and can only communicate with certain people via hallucinations.
** And at one point, they become trapped in a stellar phenomena known only as "The Void", a weird fold in space without so much as a micron of matter inside. Ships drawn in survive by raiding other ships.
** Season 3 of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' takes place in the Delphic Expanse, a region infamous for [[NegativeSpaceWedgie inexplicable anomalies]] and even large areas that aren't entirely in this universe. This is revealed to be the work of aliens from another realm who are altering the galaxy to suit them; once they're defeated, the Expanse turns into normal space.
* The Upside Down in ''Series/StrangerThings''. It is a DarkWorld version of Hawkins, a creepy, dark place covered by MeatMoss and home to monsters like the [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Demogorgon and the Mind Flayer]].
* Heaven in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
** Every human's heaven is a LotusEaterMachine, basically just the best moment of your life over and over again but in all but a few rare cases involving soul mates, your loved ones are merely projections. [[spoiler: In the SeriesFinale, Jack reorganizes Heaven so everyone can be with their loved ones.]]
** Purgatory is a dimension where monster souls go when they die. It's a forested place where all creatures live in a state of hunting or being hunted. Food and sleep don't seem to be a thing, just hand-to-hand combat. It's considered particularly hostile to angels and humans but [[spoiler: Dean Winchester thinks of his time there as pure. Castiel, on the other hand, suffers greatly but refuses to leave because he feels it necessary to do penance for his past actions.]]
** The Empty is a dimension outside our universe and understanding where angels go when they die and exist in a perpetual sleep state. It's also sentient, and it becomes annoyed with Castiel for not sleeping.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E91LittleGirlLost Little Girl Lost]]", the other dimension to which Tina Miller is sent is a bizarre, abstract realm which distorts perceptions. For instance, Tina's father Chris believed that he was standing upright in spite of the fact that his legs were still on the other side of the portal.
* ''Series/TwinPeaks'' has numerous examples:
** The Red Room. A world where people speak backwards, time works... differently, and [[spoiler: the resident Spirits feed on human pain and sorrow. The lodge itself is really just a series of identical rooms with red curtains and a zig-zag patterned floor. Or it could be that it is just the same room repeated over and over.]] It is either the Black Lodge itself or a place between the Black and White Lodges.
** The Room Above the Convenience Store. [[spoiler:The apparent meeting place of the Lodge Spirits, implied to be a time loop of the exact moment the Trinity Nuclear Explosion occurred.]]
** The Black and White Lodges. The Black Lodge (beneath the floor of the Red Room) is an [[spoiler:infinite sea of stars with a single floating "room" where time works... wrong. Meanwhile, the White Lodge is a massive fortress in the middle of a purple ocean that stretches beyond the eye can see.]]
** ''The Return'' continues to add places like [[spoiler:the inside of a nuclear explosion.]]
** Several locations and objects create a connection to the supernatural world including The Palmer House, 2240 Sycamore, Glastonbury Circle, Jack Rabbit Palace, and The Dutchman. [[spoiler:They all open portals to other dimensions or are frequented by Lodge Spirits, warping them in some way or another.]]
* Played for laughs in ''Series/TheYoungOnes''. The students' house looks like a normal council house, but it is in fact filled with sentient furniture, a [[GenieInABottle teapot with a genie in it]], a TV that spits out characters, and a [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe wardrobe that leads to Narnia]]. [[GenreBlindness The four complain that nothing ever happens]].
