Terrifying

Halloween Nightmares haunted house at The Wall

Yes, this is THAT haunted house… the one that’s been in the news for causing people to have panic attacks. Look, we obviously don’t recommend going if you don’t love all things scary. But if you crave the feeling of adrenaline coursing through your veins and you don’t bat an eye at the most terrifying movies, then maybe this one’s for you?

On until the end of November | Website
