Yes, it was horror movie deluxe! We [[as students) were not allowed to go through those underground tunnels by ourselves as patients periodically escaped and would hide in the tunnels. They had a large number of violent patients housed there. It was a very sad place, really. This 'asylum', as they called it back in the day, was a Kirkbride structure. I found them to be particularly creepy as they were so gothic. They were all over the US. Several websites are devoted to the Kirkbride psychiatric hospital architecture.
