WIll there be any sort of creepy/scary places?Like castles?

I was wondering how dark and creepy Skyrim would be when compared to Oblivion.

I am looking for something a little scary,like castles,forests, something that makes it more interesting than usual.

Fallout had it(aka the Dunwich building,was excellent).

Dis Oblivion have anywhere like this? I can't think of anywhere other than the lighthouse.

Either way I hope there's one creepy place.

TES games have always been somewhat disappointing for me in terms of horror elements. The design for bonewalkers and zombies in Morrowind and Oblivion was great - but they stick them in brightly lit dungeons where the player never really feels lost or disoriented.

And their ghosts are just lame.

All I can say is that I hope so in the snow covered mountains it would be great to stumble upon an ice covered fortress, it would be even better that a quest comes along with it you complete the quest and you claim the fortress have it fixed up with gothic furniture and fixings. Hopefully there could be interesting little magically shielded ice around in places to keep it from melting but it should only be in artistically after the place is cleaned up. :disco:

The Art of Skyrim video:

has some creepy looking places.
Like the picture to the left of the map, and the pictures on the upper right of the wall. One is a really awesome looking altar at 2:30

Looking forward to this Labyrinth I keep hearing about. Hope there's at least one Minotaur in it.

This was partially due to the poor lighting effects. New engine helps fix this problem.
