A haunted castle with a twisted zones of horrors…
After last year’s sell-out debut, Descend into Darkness is back at Watermouth Castle in the evenings this October — more terrifying and immersive than ever.
As night falls, the castle becomes a chilling labyrinth of live actors, gore, darkness, and jump scares. Not for the faint of heart.
Do you dare to come face-to-face with terror…?
Journey through FIVE themed scare zones with live actors:
- Cursed Forest: a bone-chilling woodland trail of howling wolves, clanking chains, and hanging trees
- Voodoo Valley: journey down the river of restless spirits; just make sure you don’t become yet another one of the lost souls trapped on its waters…
- The Haunted Castle: when the castle doors slam closed, you’ll find yourself trapped in a hellscape of cobwebs, cursed animatronics, and haunted robots. And only the bravest will dare to complete their journey with a descent into the bowels of the castle itself – the demented dungeon…
- NEW – Bad Barnyard: A creepy farmyard with twisted animals lurking in the shadows. (can you add a NEW flash on a slant)
- NEW – The Z Factor: An outbreak has brought the undead back to life. Can you survive? (can you add a NEW flash on a slant)
