Festival of Fear

Product Information

Welcome to the family! This year, there’s a wedding at the Petting Zoo. As a guest of honour, you are as always greeted in a friendly manner, but upon closer inspection, something doesn't seem quite right about this celebration. The spectacular show The Traumatica Circus: APOCALYPSE takes place every 9pm and 10:30pm. Spectacular action with death wheel is sure to take breath away, while there is also some heavy swallowing, and rather unusual pole acrobatics at what is probably the craziest circus in the world. For the very first time, visitors will be able to visit every Friday and Saturday, as well as 31st October. In the later hours, they can also discover the exclusive Mystery Experience Eden Manor - Balthazar's Secrets. From 10:30pm, the mysterious lounge opens its doors, revealing the ambience of an old manor house with many theatrical, interactive and virtual surprises in store. The FESTIVAL OF FEAR is hereby granted the right to utilize excerpt(s) or Snapshots, from any film submitted for exhibition. (For promotional purposes.)

Rather it’s through the experience of seeing them unmasked that we’re awakened to the struggle we’re embroiled in here and now. Individuals in folk horror are shown to be so weak against much bigger forces – religious, political or preternatural – that they run the risk of being crushed entirely. Or else they become the force, which is perhaps the greatest horror of all. Admission is permitted from the age of 16. Visitors under the age of 16, even if accompanied by a legal guardian, will not be admitted to the event. Always joking around with their red noses, colourful clothes and unkempt hairstyles; it’s the clowns! Their jokes will have you dying with laughter. While Grim and his silly friends guarantee that if you survive, your visit to their funhouse will never be forgotten. Rehearsals are over, it’s showtime!
