Farm of Terror
Farm of Terror is located in Bacup, Lancashire. Entry to Farm of Terror is a bit different to the “normal” and we had to park in the Morrisons car park near to the farm’s location and catch a shuttle bus in. This initially confused us and could do with a few more signs about the place to make things a bit clearer.
Once we found the shuttle stop and climbed aboard, things started to get scary! With the clearly insane shuttle bus driver taking our lives in his hands. The shuttle ride pre-empted the scares and set the tone for the whole night (scares with humour) We were dropped off at the Farm’s entrance which was simple, not flashy and we were let straight into the attraction.
Farm of Terror sends very small groups in at a time (We were in a group of 5) which is ideal as it makes the scares and event feel more personal and intimate. At the beginning of the maze we were given the option to LIVE or DIE. Live is the “tame” option, with no interaction or touching and “die” is the hardcore option, where the actors are allowed to touch, talk and interact with you in almost every possible way, of course we chose the DIE option (I did ask if there was a level above die….) and I am very glad that we did! The maze is a long 30 minute walk between a LOT of scenes not connected by theme, but connected by the actors.
Farm of Terror hit every trope of “scares” – clowns/hillbillies/pigs/daemons/psychopaths it was a smorgasbord of horror. It would spoil the event to go into too much detail, but there are several stand out moments, including a moving wall, a clown shower, dirty hillbillies, a near miss with a very real car and a twisted birthday party! Every single actor (and there were LOTS of them) were so interactive, and quick witted. We spent the entire 30 minutes howling with laughter!
The scares came with excellent timing and intensity. The actors all pitched their actions appropriately to the person they were interacting with. A very good event, we came out beaming, and in need of a drink… luckily there was a fully stocked bar for refreshments.
