The idea of being trapped in a place where something so grotesque as walls oozing blood occurs is terrifying. It plays on the fear of being in an unknown and dangerous situation, which is a common theme in horror.
In a story from Maine, there was a forest with an old, abandoned cabin. Hikers who got too close to it would feel an overwhelming sense of dread.

But at the time, it felt like something out of a horror movie for her.
