I'm almost tempted to Photoshop that pic into that scene in
The War of the Worlds where the
HMS Thunderchild takes on a bunch of Tripods.

Buncha abandoned homesteads in Shenandoah National Park(well, not so much as "abandoned" as "locals forced out by gunpoint" but you get the picture).

Kayakoy, one of those Greek villages abandoned in 1923 after the Turkish-Greek war. The churches look fantastic in their decay.
And I know it's already been posted before in a general list of abandoned buildings, but I love
these pictures of the Pacbell building in San Francisco.
If it's not being redeveloped in the end, please ship it to Gotham City instead.

Sweet Jesus, I tried to read about
The Island of the Dolls and got too scared. It's 2pm here, not even dark, and that was terrifying.

I LOVE that site. Used to live across the river from Cincinnati but was a transplant so really like learning about stuff like that.
The pictures of stuff like Surf Cincinnati and Americana Park were really weird, since I went to them as a kid.

My grandparents lived less than 5 miles away from Americana while I was growing up, back when it was called Lesourdsville Lake. I remember going to Fantasy Farm (no doubt googling
that would turn up some interesting hits) once when I was about 4 or so.
King's Island opened about that same time, and nothing else would do after that.

This website contains photo records of abandoned or dismantled airfields that used to exist throughout the United States. Many of them were war surplus fields built in the 40s for defense and training. The local community could but didn't always pick them up after the government stopped using them and plenty of them are littered throughout the United States. Some of them have been totally developed over, some have been partially remodeled for use as other facilities, and others are mini-Pripyats. Sitting exactly as they've been since they were abandoned years ago.
