The walk-through attraction has already proven popular at Gröna Lund
Sally Corporation's new walk-through haunted house attraction has opened at Sweden’s Gröna Lund seaside amusement park.

‘House of Nightmares’ is set in an old Victorian mansion and focuses on the evil Dr. Morphio – a crazed scientist carrying out experiments about nightmares.

The attraction opened on 25 April at the park in Stockholm. Special effects, lighting and sound are used to set the mood, while scenic elements enhance the back story.

”Nothing is as frightening as your imagination suggests it may be. It’s the idea of what may be inside which sets the stage for the frights to come. Before guests even step inside we want them to be nervous, anxious and ready for anything,” said lead designer, Drew Hunter.

Animatronic characters and props, CGI video effects, live wire illumination, video projection, Pepper’s Ghost illusions, ultraviolet illumination, live performers, and “element X” – the subliminal undercurrent of dread, suspense, fear and anticipation – were all used in the specially designed attraction.

“Element X is the subliminal. You can’t see it. You can’t hear it. You can only sense it. A superb haunted attraction will always have effective scares, sets, props, performers, sound and all else to make it top notch. But the best of the best will have that special something extra that is hard to define and even harder to design into a show. That is the undercurrent of dread, suspense, fear and anticipation. That’s Element X,” said Hunter.
