A; H A LLOW E’EN horror attraction is to be created a t a Ribble “
Valley farm. Lancashire-based AtmosFEARI.
Scare Attractions is to unveil Scare Kingdom Scream Park, on a 10-acre site at Hawkshaw Farm Park, on the A59, Clayton-le-Dale. It is the brainchild of TV presen
ter and author Jason Karl. : He has teamed up with the farm’s owners, Eric and Amanda Dowson, to create the “spooktacular” family venue. The park, which is in the
advanced stages of planning and will open in time for Hallowe’en 2009, will house three different, but equally e.xciting scare attractions suitable for audiences of all ages. It will include the chilling open air
cornfield attraction. Dead Alive, where visitors mil meet the menac ing Pumpkin Man and his twisted, mad mother. Old Mother Strange. Lurking inside the spine-chilling
undercover attraction Blood Bath roams a crazed doctor who has turned totally insane and is on the hunt for fresh blood.' Young children will have lots of
spooky fun inside Hubble Buddie, an interactive theatrical attraction where friendly witch sisters. Toil
and Trouble, have a cauldron of dev-, ilish games to enjoy. Professional actors, dynamic spe
cial effects, spooky sounds and sen sational lighting effects will combine
' to create a thrilling experience that will leave fun-seekers screaming one minute and laughing the next. Creative producer of Atmos-
FEAR! Scare Attractions Jason Karl said:'“With Scare Kingdom we are creating a brand which can evolve and develop year on year. .. “There is an increased interest in this kind of entertainment format and, with the credit crunch, people will be looking for something unusual, fun and relatively inexpen sive to do over Halloween. ■ Amanda Dowson said: “We have
attractions for toddlers, families and for those seeking an extreme scream experience.” O Scare Kingdom Scream Park
opens nightly from Thursday, Octo ber 22nd and will open daily during the half-term period when the chil dren’s interactive experience will operate. For more information and to reg
