Lost Souls Alley

This year-round haunted house just off of the market square takes you on a terrifying tour through a nightmare gallery of sickening situations and encroaching peril. Participants must choose a 'pain level' (which basically determines how much touching you are comfortable with allowing), then work together to make their way through 12 rooms (most of which are locked and you must find a key to free yourself and escape) of a creepy ramshackle apartment full of blood-spattered beds, hacked-off limbs, moaning invalids and reaching hands, some armed with stun guns (if you choose maximum pain). This isn't a campy, Hollywood creature-feature brand of horror, but a gruesome asylum full of tortured patients, and twisted tenants; the scares are less of the pop-and-shock variety, and more effecting of psychological dread as you frantically fumble your way forward knowing that terrifying shadows are closing in on you from all sides. Incredibly well-done and effectively horrifying, as soon as you enter you just want to make it to the end. Doing so takes about 25-35mins, and participants must be at least 14 years old. The best way to arrange a visit is to reserve online or call in advance. Discreetly hidden through a passageway off the main street, past a strip club, and up a creepy set of stairs on the first floor, visit if you dare.
