I don't see why you couldn't make a dungeon out of just about anything: the
Great Maze is full of caverns and the like.

Or maybe some arch-evil guy has built an underground network under a city
-or started building one which never got finished for creepy horrible
reasons which the posse will discover at the peril of their lives.

A large fort could also be a good dungeon: lots of corridors, couple of
underground passages, very few windows, nameless horrors within...

Papier maché boulders with hornets in them are good too, but somehow I don't
think the effect would be as good without a horde of kobolds there to jeer
at your poor beleaguered heroes when they're down and utterly humiliated.
