Dunwich Building

Dunwich Building is the most South West point on your map and is populated by all types of ghouls. The area is a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's horror genre masterpiece "The Dunwich Horror", involving the undead, madness and a cursed book (The Necronomicon, also famously referenced in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films). The building is a dark, mazy set of interior ruins that rewards the persistent explorer with a Bobblehead: Melee Skill, found on the ground just before exiting the Virulent Underchambers. There is also one of several Blue Pass cards to be obtained from a ghoul in the building proper.

There are several 'supernatural' moments within the building itself, such as doors opening all on their own, objects suddenly being thrown across the room, and a 'flashback' moment when the player enters one particular room, showing the building as it was, as well as a figure standing some distance away.(also near one of the audio tapes is a head "stuck" to a desk)

In the Virulent Underchambers in particular, the player can discover the creator of the increasingly demented audiologs, now mutated into a frenzied Ghoul, along with a handful of Feral Ghouls, seemingly worshiping a strange object located within the cave system below the building, a obelisk-like contruction, studded with skulls. Killing the Ghoul, who is armed with a Chinese Assault Rifle, also counts as a positive Karma act. The obelisk in the center is also irradiated about half way up, to a max of 15 rads/s.

The final audiolog found within the building, though mostly rambling by a mutated insane Ghoul, happens to mention the word "Al'hazred" several times, who happens to be the "author" of the fictional book the Necronomicon.
