Scream Seekers Scare Shack
I visited this attraction at the 2019 For The Love Of Horror convention in Manchester. It was an extra charge attraction but the money was going towards a charity, which I thought was lovely.
I was initially going to go in alone but my partner was persuaded eventually. Not wanting to give too much away, it was described to us as a hillbilly victim experience, we were required to sign a waiver and given a safeword. I'm no stranger to 18+ scare experiences as I've visited Psychomanteum at Scare Kingdom multiple times so I was expecting something similar to that and I wasn't disappointed!
I was amazed at the theming inside considering the experience is packed into such a small area and I was impressed at the immersion achieved despite being next to the ever-busy stage area of the convention. The costumes were fantastic as well with a couple of them being the best I've seen.
The first scene reminded me of Psychomanteum with its sexual themes but was different enough to be its own thing and going inside with my partner made it even more entertaining as the actors were able to play off of that, much to my amusement. The second scene was quite a change of pace and though less intense, was far more creepy and a surprising/interesting change of pace to the previous scene.
My partner didn't enjoy it as much as I did, he found the sexual side of things made him feel uncomfortable but I just find that sort of thing hilarious. I can see how it might disturb or upset people who have never done anything like this before, but I think most people would be pleasantly surprised if they're brave enough to check it out. The actors here were really lovely, asking if you're alright once it's over and taking a photo with you. I'd recommend that you give them a go if you happen to be anywhere they're performing, it's a unique experience that you won't forget in a hurry!
