Factory of Terror - Worcester

I had seen signs for weeks now about the new haunted house attraction in Worcester and just had to check it out. Located in an abandoned factory building in Worcester's Grafton Hill area is the Factory of Terror. The entrance to the attraction is through an old delivery door where visitors queue up while some of the characters in all their spookiness keep you entertained. Some such characters were the scary clown, the deadly doctor and the silent child.
While you wait you also have a photo opportunity. They take your picture with a few of the props and text you a link to retrieve your group photo after. It was a pretty cool idea and a great way for people to get a reminder of the experience.

After paying the admission price we entered a room where we got a quick introduction to the attraction and a quick scare from yet another actor. As we moved through the next door we entered a more open area that looped around where as you walked along the path you were spooked by hidden actors mixed in amongst the scary props and behind hidden windows. This area while very cool with design wasn't particularly scary.

The next area we entered required 3D glasses which were handed out by a scary fella guarding the entrance. Once inside you were awe inspired but the 3d effect of the colorful and spooky art.

Everything glowed under the blue lights and amplified the feeling that the eyes were following you as you went. Whoever the artist is they did an amazing job and really captured the spookiness of each character.

 

 As we made our way from the maze of eyes and faces we entered a very snug entrance to another spooky and dark section. To pass through you had to squeeze your way through a tight passage. (It was like a balloon entrance that just pressed firmly against you no matter now small or big you are.) Once inside it was darkly lit and you had to follow along the narrow pathway's being greeted by even more actors who used their creepiness to intimidate and spook. Some snuck up close to you only to be discovered when you turned their way.

As we wrapped up the urban alley section we found ourselves finished and walking out the exit door. Over all it took about 15-20 minutes to make our way through the different sections of the Haunted Factory of Terror.

It was a good time and a great evening. I thought the price was fair for a seasonal thrill and I thought the actors really did a great job both spooking and entertaining each and every visitor.
