Screamfest launches hellish fright nights for Halloween
Prepare for the ultimate fright night this Halloween as Staffordshire scream park Screamfest announces its most intense scare maze to date.
With more shocks and frights than ever before the new attraction - Hellcatraz – will transport visitors to a place far worse than hell where you are guaranteed to get your heart racing as you are separated, isolated and subjected to the most scream inducing scare possible.
For the first time ever, be prepared to get up close and personal with the live actors as they are trained to reach out and brush your hand, sneak up and catch your hair or grab your arm as you run past.
Creating the ultimate fright night experience, it will be the most intense maze and performance to date for Screamfest based at the National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, Burton, which attracts over 31,000 visitors every year.
Starting on Friday 11 October Screamfest runs for 14 nights up until Saturday 2nd November. This year the event features 6 attractions including the New for 2024 scare Hellcatraz, as well as fan favourites; clown crazed Freakout on Tour, maize maze scare attraction Creed Farm, nightmare inducing Insomnia, apocalyptic mayhem Hillbilly Joe’s Zombie Zoo and last year’s latest addition Area 52 which sees visitors battle 5 acres of outdoor interactive scare in a first for the farm with its new terrifying tractor trailer ride.
Spread out over the whole 40 acre park taking in outdoor and indoor mazes, there will also be live music, extreme fright acts, fairground rides, street food stalls and a licensed bar, with fire breathers and walkabout actors ready to scare.
