Reminds me of the boiler room door that keeps showing up in various episodes of A Nightmare On Elm Street.

It's weird how just a simple door can project such a scary and creepy and spine-tingling feeling. I think it's the vent in it....that just reminds me of some horror movie or something.

I think it is also the lighting in the picture and the fact we know this is an abandoned insane asylum that gives it a horror movie feel aswell.This same door in a bright,modern,working facillity might not convey the same thoughts.

As long as it stands, the Philadelphia Police will be patrolling the grounds.

Looks like a great movie poster for a horror film.

I live about 20 minute drive from Byberry. I love visiting the horrors of Byberry. Before I joined the Navy, many of weekends would be spent here. If anyone had any questions, email me at Wohlb@kitty-hawk.navy.mil

I was on the Kitty Hawk during my second deployment with the 15th MEU. Good times. I miss pumping out.

I worked on a service project at Byberry in 1973 as a Jr in highschool. Two weeks (day only) with the patients, two weeks of writing in a journal. A very weird and depressing experience, sharing the lives of the people who lived there. I've never looked back or wanted to go back.

A seclusion door. Used to protect the very psychotic from self harm or worse yet harm from others
