Fright Club: Death Trap 2009
Back in May 2008, Haunted Attractions visited Fright Club at County Hall in London. To say we found it the worst attraction we’d ever been through would be an understatement (read our previous review here). Then in late 2008 we started to receive emails from a new owner, telling us we must come and revisit. The emails insisted that the attraction had been revamped, but we still remained dubious. They’d even renamed it “Fright Club: Death Trap” just to try and distinguish it from the original.
Even so, we still feared it would be the same old Fright Club so we went along just to see for ourselves.
On walking into the building it is soon apparent this is NOT the same old attraction. The inside has been painted black, has props and actors roaming around and no longer looks like a school concourse. There is also no cheesy photo opportunity, this time it’s straight into the attraction and the scares start almost instantly.
The layout inside makes the attraction feel longer. Yes, it still uses some of the same props and walkways, but now, it’s all about atmosphere and scares and not boredom! The actors, and there can be up to five in this small space, really know how to work the maze, and now have the tools to do so. It’s out and out scares all the way.
But, it’s the last 20ft where the attraction hit’s its peak. It looks like a dark corridor to the exit, but you soon come to a shuddering halt where your senses are shocked for the final time. Without giving too much away we now understand why it’s been renamed “Death Trap”!
So, a big congratulations all round for the owners and actors for turning around this poor attraction into a “must do” maze for any haunt lover out there.
Miss it at your peril.
