sometimes above your head,
there was something that was
not expected.
You start out in the
Gothenberg Estate where
ghouls and madmen come at
you from nowhere. Then you
wander through the Clown’s
Playground where any victim
is a coulrophobe. Next you
emerge outside in a graveyard
and ushered into the darkest

following moments, you find
yourself the human sacrifice in
an ancient ritual. Finally, you’re
running from a military experi

scared by things like that, an
amusing way to pass the time
in the haunt is to throw off the
actors something that is very
hard to do. Every member of
the cast is dedicated to their
character and are not easily
diverted.
