VIDEO: Nightmare Realm is where nightmares come back to life

From crypt zombies to crazed butchers and from chainsaw-wielding maniacs to deranged little girls, this year’s Nightmare Realm is, as ever, a sight to behold.

But with an overall theme of the ‘Rotten Village’ and a strict over-13s policy, this, one of the country’s most terrifying scare houses, is not for the fainted-hearted.

The Realm’s first victims went through the experience earlier this week at an exclusive preview of the event, which officially opens to the public tonight.
