Welcome to the second in our concessional Words and Sound series, the W&S Podcast Scares, where we take a look at some of the frighteningly fun (haha see what I did there?) scares from around the country… This week, we look at at Scarborough’s Terror Tower!
The Terror Tower is set over 3 floors and spans 2 buildings, though you wouldn’t suspect so from the small stature of the front of the building. Each room is a replica of a famous horror film set and in between each is near darkness as you wind your way through.
I can’t remember exactly which films are covered because I was genuinely terrified and tried to get through as quickly as I could. It didn’t help that there was only 2 of us scrambling through the darkness and being jumped at by the live actors who always seemed to be in front and behind you!
I remember very definitely though, Freddy Krueger’s head and voice descending from the ceiling. Norman Bates skeletal mother coming down the stairs in her wheel chair. Michael Myers electrocuted in a chamber and best of all, a metallic space station corridor with liquid dripping from the ceiling leading you to the hulking Xenomorph.
Fans of horror and scares, this one is excellent and I burst out the door laughing and very very scared. Very highly recommended!! 8/10
