Manormortis – The Evil from Oz

Always an impeccably themed attraction The Evil From Oz delivered a compelling storyline with fun characters along the way. A loose adaption of the Wizard of Oz, visitors met all the well-known characters from the classic book. The story was engaging with the Manormortis set really bringing the story to life. Each character delivered a compelling narative that made us jump and laugh in equal doses.

While the experience was more theatrical and humourous than a traditional scare attraction there was still a lot to enjoy in this large production.

Body Snatchers – Spring Heeled Jack

Spring Heeled Jack is on the loose will we escape? This attraction started again with a more theatrical experience but quickly upped the anti moving from theatrics to a crescendo of scares with a fun little finale. 

I think this approach works well, it sets the scene while putting people on edge not knowing what might come around the corner. After the scene was set with some introductory story telling the scares started coming, slowly at first building and building with a fun scare at the end with a well placed prop.

Well, well, well. I think this was the grossest Psychomanteum incarnation I have experienced. The title Goremet Cafe lives up to expectations. You definitely tasted, smelt and heard all kinds of gross. Introducing new characters this attraction really took you on a journey of emotion from laughing to almost crying at the disgusting treats I had to consume.

I think the introduction of new characters was a fun idea and each character brought a sprinkle of humour to the experience.

I feel the slight departure from the more traditional incarnations was a brave move by Scare Kingdom. A single night event was definitely a good place to try this out. While this was a fun, exciting and vomit inducing experience I personally found that even though I managed not to safeword the full-on culinary aspect lost some of the charm of previous incarnations.

Overall Scare Kingdom really was a great way to celebrate the halfway point to Halloween and as usual everyone was on top form.

Having not experienced a Halloween season at Scare Kingdom I look forward to what Halloween 2019 will bring.
