I wonder if people think Milan cathedral also looks scary?

  the Duomo is a weird kind of gothic, most notably missing the tall proportions of most gothic cathedrals. I've never seen it described as scary, but it has its creepy details, like the statue depicting San Bartholomew after being skinned, wearing his own skin.

    That statue is a vivid memory for me ever since I saw it 30 years ago.

  Even if I agree that Gothic architecture is the most appropriate setting for horror action, and I also agree with many of the arguments of the Italian Renaissance against what they have called as "Gothic", I still consider the great Gothic cathedrals as the most beautiful buildings that have ever been built.
