43 Spooky Cities Around the World People Would Not Go Back To

Haw Par Villa in Singapore is a theme park like no other, a far cry from the whimsical world of Disneyland. With its entrance adorned by traditional Chinese arches, the park quickly reveals its true, bizarre nature with over 1,000 eclectic statues, including the likes of a human head on a giant crab.

The park’s centerpiece, the Ten Courts of Hell, serves as a vivid, albeit gruesome, moral lesson for children. Here, graphic dioramas depict brutal punishments for various sins, like being sawed in half for misusing books, dismembered for cheating on exams, or thrown onto a hill of knives for predatory lending.
