Kenneth Strickfadden's designs for the lab equipment set the style for every mad scientist's laboratory that came after it. The original pieces were still being used in films five decades later. The influence of this set design on other films cannot be overestimated.

OMG! that pic is huge, Lee! [:D] But you certainly made a very good point to consider.

Dance Academy.

Argento's fantastic use of colors for the film, including the blood red walls of the Academy, gave the place a brooding, mysterious and dark look, which is both menacing and sinister.

A standout from the rest for sure.

metternich1815 05-11-2014 06:35 AM

I will have to go with Dr. Phibes's lair.

Lots a of great setting this time around and they're all worthy of winning. I'm going to cast my vote for the dance academy. As V said, the striking, dramatic use of color in the film really make the environment stand out, and the architecture is pretty amazing too.

roshiq 05-12-2014 01:07 AM

Dance Academy - 4

Dr. Phibes' lair - 3

Notre Dame Cathedral - 3

Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital - 0

Keep voting, HDC...Argento's Suspirian Dance Academy is very close to win the match, need a vote to seal it & become another Quarter-finalists. But just right behind the academy, Dr. Phibes' lair & Notre Dame Cathedral jointly holds a very promising spot. The table can turn around at any time.

Let's see who wins it finally...

More brutal matches have already set for the Quarterfinals...though it sounds silly but lately I've been even thinking to give a name for each match starting from Quarterfinals...i.e.The Anarchy, Mayhem, Menacing...if you guys like the idea then please feel free to suggest more suitable & exciting titles (via PM to me) for all 7 upcoming toughest matches we're going to have in QFs (4), SFs (2) & for the Final(1)!

Indeed! The ever historic Notre Dame Cathedral pulls off an amazing win and "upset" the fans of Mater Suspiriorum's Dance Academy & Dr. Phibes' lair.

The final match of round 2 is coming up next....

Regan's home combined with the iconic Exorcist steps would have made it a no-contest.

As it stands, the Amityville house. Again, a classic example of a location being the film's central character.
