I must be crazy, but the prison didn't scare me *that* much

[Sel]

The great thing about the mansion/castle/cistern/church is that there's nothing inherently scary about them, they're just eerie thanks to the ambient noises, lighting, etc. This effect is great, and the prison loses it because the horror produced from a prison is more or less expected.

This is worded absolutely fucking terribly, but I figure I'm making my point fairly clear?
