* ''Anime/GenesisOfAquarion'': Atlandea, the home of the Shadow Angels and their cherubim and harvest beast creations.
* ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'': In the television series, the demons originate from the Kingdom of Ice buried far below the surface of the Himalayas.
* ''Anime/{{Daitarn 3}}'': The meganoids and megaborgs originate from Mars (although they are not aliens).

* ''ComicBook/SavageDragon'' has God City, where various freaks and offspring of the gods go to live.

* Midian in ''Film/{{Nightbreed}}'' is an underground city where the monsters live.

* The dimension on the other side of the Rift in ''Film/PacificRim'' that serves as the birthplace of the Kaiju. Interestingly enough, [[spoiler:it's less of a nature preserve and more of a bio-factory where the Kaiju are knit together by their creators]].

* Can anyone say "The Nightside" from ''[[Literature/{{Nightside}} Tales Of The Nightside]]'' by Creator/SimonRGreen? Not exactly where the monsters come from, but all monsters eventually end up there.
* The deep valleys of the Hork-Bajir homeworld in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}''. The Hork-Bajir actually called them monsters, although they were created by the Arn in reality.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and its many otherworldly demon worlds probably qualify.
* The Reaper tunnels from ''Series/{{The 100}}''.

* Monstro Town in ''Videogame/SuperMarioRPG'' is a town built into a stone cliffside populated entirely by common Mario enemies like Goombas and Koopas. Perhaps an InvertedTrope in that the creatures ''moved'' here to be autonomous from Bowser.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' the monsters are basically everywhere. However, there's a particular village named Trian Gully where monsters reside along with elves and humans, making it something of a subversion.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock|2}}'': This is what [[CrapsaccharineWorld Rapture]] has ultimately become. Sofia Lamb even names it as such.
* The ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' has three areas that all act as the source of all the supernatural entities in the series, and at the same time, are directly linked with eachother explaning why all demons look the same despite having different sources. The Expanse,[[note]]Known as Makai in some translations[[/note]] The Sea of Souls[[note]]Also known as the Collective Unconsious[[/note]] and The Great Will.[[note]]Separate from YHVH, it is the central creative force in the whole multiverse[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' spoofs this trope. Jenny has to fly to Japan, and as she passes overhead, two of the monsters she fought in earlier cartoons wave hello to her.

* The Neitherworld in ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'', more than the afterlife, is home of all kind of monsters and creepy creatures including {{monster clown}}s, werewolves, zombies, vampires, witches, spirits, tap-dancing spiders and skeleton bodybuilders.
* The surrounding area of ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh''. Apparently monsters have their own organized sub-culture [[FantasticRacism willingly separated from humans]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters''... oh boy... The show has lots and lots of different dimensions populated by all sorts of spirits, demons and creatures, among others a literal GhostTown, the [[SpiritWorld Netherworld]] and [[MirrorUniverse Boo York]].
* In ''Franchise/Ben10'', we have the Anur System, a [[MonsterMash monster mash]] of a planet system inhabited by aliens based on {{Mumm|y}}ies, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]], and FrankensteinsMonster. It is also home to the [[LastOfHisKind last living member]] of a vampire-like species.

* The ''Film/MonsterVerse'' has the [[HollowWorld Hollow Earth]]. Introduced in ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' as where the Skull Crawlers came from, Kong and a Monarch team visit it in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' and find that it is full of all sorts of {{Kaiju}}. [[spoiler:Kong's species had a rudimentary civilization in the Hollow Earth and once fought a GreatOffscreenWar against Godzilla's species.]]

* The ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' has three areas that all act as the source of all the supernatural entities in the series, and at the same time, are directly linked with eachother explaning why all demons look the same despite having different sources. The Expanse[[note]]Known as Makai in some translations.[[/note]], The Sea of Souls[[note]]Also known as the Collective Unconsious.[[/note]] and The Great Will.[[note]]Separate from YHVH, it is the central creative force in the whole multiverse.[[/note]].
