Last night I had probably the scariest night I have ever had in my life: Dr Fright’s Halloween Horror Nights 2010! It took up a field in White’s Farm at Clay Lane in Earls Barton, and had 3 mazes to choose from: Dr Fright’s Farmhouse Of Horror, The Asylum, and The Darkness. We only went in Farmhouse Of Horror, as we asked the person at the gate which was the least scary, as I can get scared easily. Yup, I was actually nearly crying at the gate. It had iron gates either side with pumpkins and music playing very LOUD! Not to mention the screams. Eventually I calmed down, ate some sweets with Alice, and stood in the queue. The Farmhouse was painted to look like wood, with smashed windows. There were hanging storm lanterns that wouldn’t stop flickering on and off from time to time, on one side a HEAD, and the other some laundry. And another head. There was blood on one of the outer walls. above the door was a message that said: “Fear: N: Dread, alarm, anxiety. Unpleasant emotion caused by coming evil or danger.” I then proceeded to say, “What are you going to do, scare us with dictionaries?” in a desperate attempt to sound brave. You had to go in in groups of 2 or 3, and the corridors were so narrow dad had to walk sideways. Lucky little Alice swiped the middle. It began when you entered the door and then the person in charge of tickets shut the door behind you. You then had to go up a flight of stairs. At the top there was a cell door like you would find in an asylum. Then, Hannibal Lecter popped up and banged on the door! I nearly fell backwards down the stairs. We then advanced through the corridor, and dad suffered an air blower: he walked past and it blew air on his neck, feeling like he had been grabbed by the neck! Then there was a mummy that was shaking in an attempt to break free. Then there was a woman sitting in a chair just shaking… and in the next room… ELECTRIC CHAIR! Yup. There was someone in an electric chair and suddenly ZZZAP! The sounds coming from the animatronic were amazing, his hair actually stood up on end. When it turned off he just started talking, and when you left more electricuting. Ouch. Then we came to a couple of people hanging from the ceiling, and ghosts wandering around beneath them. Then stairs. We thought it was the end. Big mistake. Someone came down in the lift doing nothing, and we all thought he wasn’t going to do anything when suddenly he yelled “Go! I’ll get you if you go last!!!” I was last, so I screamed and told dad to hurry up. He was literally dragging me across the floor. In the next corridor, just machinery. Not scary. But near the exit there was someone round the corner who walked towards you as you left… Terrifying. Simply terrifying. But no, it wasn’t over yet! A chainsaw maniac ran out from behind The Asylum, went round the back of Farmhouse Of Terror and The Darkness, before running towards the farmhouse and back towards The Asylum, before terrifying some people eating at benches and running to the burger bar. One man was putting mustard on his hot dog and then the maniac ran past, he actually dropped his hot dog and got mustard all down his shirt!!! Then the maniac round the toilets and back round the burger bar, this time a woman was innocently drinking Dr Pepper, and then she just dropped it and sprinted screaming away from the maniac!!! Then I decided it was time to leave. But guess what? Dad has only just got his insurance and it will take him a while to get used to driving till he can drive us, and mum had chickened out and was watching a comedian at the Royal And Derngate. We had to actually walk home! Scary, but a night to remember.
