Fictional Places to Avoid

[Miss Chicken]

The Island from Lost. So many strange things to deal with.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Any place Laurie Strode is on Halloween.

 

[Nerys Myk]

The Derry/Castle Rock/Jerusalem's Lot area of Maine.

 

[Mike Farley]

Isla Nebular - 30 seconds of awe and wonder, then the running and the terror kicks in.

 

[MacLeod]

Gotham City
Metropolis
...pretty much any major city in a universe filled with superheroes...Your home is likely to turn into a war-zone (if not a giant hole in the ground)...

Yes. Superheroes' cities suffer damage that would rival 9/11 on a monthly basis.

There is also Angel Grove which seems to suffer from destruction from massive multi-storey robots.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Arkham, Massachusetts, especially Miskatonic University, also Innsmouth, Massachusetts is pretty fishy.

 

[Vanyel]

The Matrix
(Jeru)salem's Lot
The Pet Cemetary

 

[scotpens]

Shangri-La. No stress, no strife, no struggles, no worries. In other words, boring as shit.

 

[Sephiroth]

Any place in Steven King's maine
Any place in M. Night Shyamalan's Pennsylvania
Jim Butcher's Chicago
Rome, Wisconsin
Twin Peaks, Washington

 

[scotpens]

^^ Yes, I'm glad somebody remembers Picket Fences. The good people of Rome, Wisconsin were always dealing with some hot-button Issue of the Week. That town made Peyton Place look like Salt Lake City.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Storybrooke, Maine..don't run afoul of Regina or Mr. Gold.

 

[Australis]

You can find out more on wikipedia

 

[throwback]

I will add Haven to this list.

If you aren't being killed by a person with a trouble, you might end up being pummeled by a meteor.

I will also add Warehouse 13 to that list.

A warehouse filled with artifacts that can kill you or drive you insane. If that isn't bad enough, agents have to capture artifacts in the field.

 

[Sephiroth]

there were good people in Rome?

 

[Gov Kodos]

Opar was a bit of a jungle.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Hill Valley

If you were or will be born any time between 1885 and 2015... don't live here.

Rapture

No.

Silent Hill

Double no.

Cheyenne Mountain

Not the real NORAD, but the swanky scifi version of it. War Games, Jericho, Stargate-SG1, etc.

Solomon Island, Maine

It's where Stephen King meets HP Lovecraft. Can't get much worse than that.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Kor, the queen there will ride you haggard.

 

[Vendikarr]

From reading this thread, it appears fictional Maine is THE place to avoid. Between Stephen King and the death trap that is Cabot Cove, they must have more murders and mysterious deaths per capita than any other place on Earth.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

The planet Arrakis is probably not a great place to take a summer vacation.

 

[MacLeod]

Not a place per say, but best to avoid any plane operated by Oceanic Air.
