Your Supernatural Summer Break

While set in a high school and linked to the wider DCU, Gotham Academy would be a decent source of inspiration. The building was built by the same crazies who constructed Arkham and Wayne Manor, so its laced with secret passages and occult symbols. Said symbols drive you mad, theres a mutant crocodile man living in the walls and the entire campas is built atop a buried army of super soldiers/golems designed to destroy the city if the Secret Society loses control of it.

We did something similar with highschool settings many, many years ago. Inspired by a series of short micro-stories that one of my friends wrote, presenting somewhat surreal, magical image of our highschool, we ran short rules-light campaign about bunch of kids stuck in our school over holidays, discovering that when abandoned, the school comes alive with bunch of strange, magical creatures and elements.

It has been well over a decade, so I only remember bits and pieces (we were also kinda drunk when we were playing it), but few things that stuck in my memory were:
>Coffee fairies (fairy-like creatures that inhabited the vending machines in the coffee corner and that liked to play tricks and mess with the minds of our PC's.
>Cannibalistic lunch ladies/monsterous witches preforming pagan rituals in the lunch room and worshiping sacred image of The Butcher.
>The school janitor being an ageless, incredibly wise Tom Bombadil like character.
>War between tiny races of Fish and the Bread People in the locker areas (based on old jokes and pranks our friends used to pull there, including one where one asshole stuffed a fresh fish in one of the un-used lockers and broke the lock)
>Magical observatory and alchemy labs in the art classroom on the roof.
>Giant worm living in the basement.
>Massive arsenal of WW2 weapons in the history teachers cabinet.
>Fuckton of monsters and mutants in the Biology Props cabinet.
>A human skeleton prop coming alive and being the mentor of our group.
>Bunch of our classmates turned into ghosts roaming the empty hallways.
>Literal gates of Hell in the Social Sciences Teachers room.

Shit was fun, if completely disjointed and lacking any structure or narrative. I could support exactly three mildly drunken winter afternoons.

>Ever since the late 80s, the campus has suffered from strange brownouts and fluctuations with its power grid, during which time the student body has reported anomalous activity on the campus' computer network: sites breaking and rearranging, instant messages and emails full of code or garbled image and audio files, and even crude attempts to gain control of their PCs. If one of the PCs is a computer science major, they might recognize a kind of distress call in this anomalous activity that would lead them into an abandoned lab in the sub-basement of the technology building in which they find an A.I. hosted on an old supercomputer that is just barely functional. The A.I. has been desperately seeking its creator, requesting repairs before it shuts down. It is afraid. Can the PCs help?
