The annual Family Spooktacular at ROF59 took place on Sunday 29th October from 5.00pm to 9.00pm, as a sold out event, which was enjoyed by all who attended.
All children received a treat bag, Mardi Gras beads, colouring pencils as well as a session on the trampolines, all entertained by the disco and DJ Nathan giving away various prizes.
With the actors in place, the highlight of the event was the established scare walk with a special addition this year of the crash zone. Numerous animatronics were used, which at times could not be differentiated between the actors, which caused many visitors to be unnerved when they moved or started walking behind them or when a chainsaw started up . . .
“The best scare walk I have ever experienced”; “Chainsaw guy scared the pants of me”; “This has to be one of the best Halloween events I have attended”; “It was definitely scarier than Scream Factory”, were some of the comments from our victims!
