Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Chand Baori is a famous stepwell situated in the village of Abhaneri near Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. This step well is located opposite Harshat Mata Temple, constructed in 800 c. and is one of the deepest and largest step wells in India. It was built in the 9th century and has 3500 narrow steps in 13 stories and is 100 feet deep.

[–]Houan200 28 points29 points ago

The movie "The Fall" has an amazing scene taking place there but I cannot find it on youtube...

[–]ScottieGirl 8 points9 points ago

Here ya go!! It is one of my all time favourite movies.

[–]possumparty 7 points8 points ago

Just a warning, everyone, the link above has spoilers!

The Fall is one of my favorite movies as well! Incredibly visually stunning-- whoever was in charge of choosing filming location seriously deserves some kudos. Also, Lee Pace is such a dream boat.

[–]whimsical_lunatic 0 points1 point ago

Oh I saw that in the movie, but thought it was CGI or something. And yes, Lee Pace is super yummy.

[–]ScottieGirl 0 points1 point ago

Only reason I watched Pushing Daisies!!

[–]JaysonthePirate 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand how that can be the ONLY reason.

[–]ScottieGirl 0 points1 point ago

Well it was the only reason I decided to watch it. Then when I started watching it the other million reason revealed themselves to me.

[–]dan3659 8 points9 points ago

Come to say the same thing, one of my favourites!

Here's the trailer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO0LYcCoeJY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The steps are at 1:48

[–]JLdeGenf 6 points7 points ago

It's also Bane's prison in TDKR

[–]Elemmakil 2 points3 points ago

As well as the last Batman film.

Pretty cool how the same location can be stunning beautiful and threading depending on the lighting.

[–]stormageddon007 -1 points0 points ago

Such an amazing film! Very underrated.

[–]Ree81 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! The trailer made it look amazing. I love "stories" like that. Magic, adventure. Gonna watch it now.

[–]xmnstr 11 points12 points ago

Reminds me of Minecraft.

[–]Elessun 2 points3 points ago

I believe it's time to build it too!

[–]provokedcarp 0 points1 point ago

Came to the comments looking for this sentiment. It would be an inefficient system, but watcha gonna do?

[–]mag1cdr4g0n 0 points1 point ago

This was my first thought. It's time to log back in!

[–]SkitTrick 9 points10 points ago

DESHI DESHI BASARA BASARA!!!

[–]Drauul 4 points5 points ago

Holy shit! Is this the Temple of the Ancients?

[–]sourboysam 9 points10 points ago

reminds me of part of the fictional prison in Dark Knight Rises

[–]MorfiusX 0 points1 point ago

I thought the same thing. I haven't looked closely, but I wondered if they used the same location as The Fall.

[–]Lucifersamtaco 0 points1 point ago

They did, in fact they almost couldn't use the location because of political fallout in the region from the bin laden raid.

[–]PhilbertMcFilibuster 3 points4 points ago

Is that the steps Eddie Murphy's aunt Bunny fell down?

[–]Laterian 0 points1 point ago

Wow nice 80's ref, points

[–]Sekter89 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the pyramid section from FF7.

edit: accidentally a word.

[–]mattasaurus202 1 point2 points ago

Walking down this would scare the living shit out of me!

[–]Cthulhuhoop 0 points1 point ago

I tried to build that in minecraft, sketched it on paper and everything. Shits impossible to build.

[–]LordBahumat 0 points1 point ago

It was the first thing I ever tried to build in Minecraft Creative mode. :(

[–]youRFate 1 point2 points ago

it's easy if you start at the bottom...

[–]GrainneA 0 points1 point ago

I just got chills, man.

[–]ViralSpiralz 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Crash Bandicoot

[–]saltnotsugar 0 points1 point ago

I'd hate to trip on a stair in that dang place.

[–]otariid -1 points0 points ago

Yes, superb construction on that fence there.

[–]mythril98 1 point2 points ago

This looks like something you go through in one of the Golden Sun games... I think it's when you get Mind Reading in the werewolf town.

[–]sAfuRos 0 points1 point ago

Upvote for obscure Golden Sun reference

[–]LordBarrington0 1 point2 points ago

[–]mcellucci 0 points1 point ago

What's wrong with a rope and bucket?

[–]Vettz 1 point2 points ago

[–]Desomorphine 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the market district in Baldurs Gate 2

[–]cheesefalcon -1 points0 points ago

If there was only a scientific measurement for the quantified level of awesome one could have with a slinky in a particular place in space, this would be several of those.

[–]9sp7ky3 0 points1 point ago

Gentleman....ready your slinky's!
