How about this?

The Wasteland. A floating place in Faerie which rairly attaches itself to other places in Faerie, it was once a site of a long forgotten magical battle. Most of the inhabitants now are rusty and broken golems who were used in the battle then abandoned by their creators. They recognize that the place is unfit for organic life (both living and undead). The economy of the few towns are all about salvaging parts from the "disactivated" golems and mining and forging new parts.

The Beck Theatre had gone all out in their production of MacBeth this year.  And things were going great in rehearsals...

 

...well, except for props disappearing and reappearing...

 

...and costumes getting torn apart...

 

...and strange noises in the theatre...

 

...and now, somebody's knifed the understudy to Lady MacBeth!

No-one in their right mind goes anywhere near the old McLeish estate. The council won't tear it down and construction people won't bid to tear down any of the structures there. That was after all the ahem 'accidents' and 'incidents'. There is a legal trust that pays property tax and other bills and there are old family retainers who come in and clean the buildings  but they do this in broad daylight and do not tarry after dark. You hear 'things' that are abnormal. You see things moving that should not move like that. You smell things that provoke the flight reaction rather than the stand and fight reaction.

The only time people are not really allowed on the estate is when someone has been killed there and the police tape it off. Organised crime and gangs used it briefly for a body dump until something paid them a visit and now there are no repeats of dead bodies showing up.

 

But the whole thing is a sham. For some major organised crime is running things out of sight beneath the facade most usually at night when no-one troubles to trespass on the grounds. Ultrasonics broadcast at frequencies to unnerve anyone coming too close while holograms and chemicals also create the odd ambience. However there are operatives who can appear and properly scare off intruders. But are they doing something mundane or is it really macabre ?

Ooh, perfect for Fearmonger from Creatures of the Night: Horror Enemies!

Sounds like the sort of thing that would attract four teenagers and a Great Dane in a beat-up panel van...

Probably. And the various variations of the mentioned kids and something. (Kids and a sentient dune buggy, kids and a pet shark, kids who are cat themed rock singers, etc.)
