ScareCON: the aftermath

It’s now almost a week since ScareCON and the internet buzz on Facebook and other social media shows little sign of slowing down! There are pictures of people in character, amusing anecdotes from the survivors of the scare rooms and a general feeling that this event was the best ever.  

It was attended by some of the biggest names in the UK scare industry and every comment we have received is that the atmosphere was one of friendship and co-operation. There was no bitterness or rivalry, but a real desire to share and help fellow attraction owners – whether they be a major corporate theme park or a home hunter just taking their first steps.

Now ScareCON is over for another year, this is the time when parks and attractions really start to plan their upcoming Halloween product. Aside from a couple of out of season events (AtmosFEAR’s, Horror Camp Live and GNG’s Project Fear)  it really now is all about the run up to Halloween. Have you started planning what you want to do this year? It keeps getting  harder and harder to decide where to go so fortunately we have a good team of strong reviewers who we can send all over the country and beyond. Of course we are always looking for more reviews, so if you are passionate about this industry and want to help – let us know.

As many people know – I run this site single handedly but still manage to keep up to date with the latest news and keep things fresh and exciting whilst organising major events such as ScareCON. Hopefully this is why you keep coming back to us but of course we also need your support along the way. Keep on sending in your YOU reviews of attractions and don’t forget to keep the forum alive with chat and discussion - we can only respond to what you want so if there’s anything you don’t like just ask

In the mean time we will continue to bring you the first and best exclusive reviews such as Zombie Boot Camp and The Last Survivors. Look out for other exciting stories coming soon.

I should probably just wrap up by reminding everyone of our next ScareTOUR trip which will be to Project Fear on June 23rd. Booking needs to be organised through the official website where you will need to read all the terms and conditions before experiencing this solo attraction. This freaky new production was in testing this week and many of GNG’s own staff couldn’t make it through – so let’s see how we get on!

Scare you all soon!
