A bit different from the Rose of Tralee!

Tralee in County Kerry is going to be the home for what surely will be Halloween’s sickest and scariest event this year, with the creation of The Nightmare Realm. Running from October 14th to November 1st next, The Nightmare Realm is being billed by its creators as a cross between a lunatic asylum and a live show. Rather than the usual show format where audiences are safe sitting in their chairs watching from a distance, the audience of The Nightmare Realm are going to have to ‘walk-through’ this house of extreme horrors.
Blue-Box Displays and Tobin Leisure, two Kerry based company’s, have combined time, money and resources to bring to Ireland a craze that has been sweeping the US and Europe for years, but to date no one in Ireland has been brave enough to tackle - the extreme scare and shock market.
Billed as being a strictly over 16’s attraction, the 30minute experience (if you can last that long) promises to frighten off even the hardest customers. Underlining their point Karl (Blue Box) and Ken (Tobin Leisure) are issuing an open invitation to any member of the Kerry Football Team to come and try their attraction for free, to see how tough they really are.
The two Kerry promoters are hoping to that all the College Students and adults in Munster, primarily, visit their attraction, with special offers and promotions available in the build-up to the opening night on Oct 14th. The two are very much aware that an event like this will draw people from right across the country who fancy themselves hard enough not to break down with the extreme scares planned. They also note that this sort of event will be a huge draw for Stag and Hen nights, but have issued a warning to anyone attending to head straight to the pub afterwards to settle their nerves.
The Nightmare Realm, scare house event will be located in the Mileheight Retail Park in Tralee, County Kerry, and starts on October 14th at 8pm, tickets can be bought on the door and further information is available on the Nightmare Realm pages on Bebo and Facebook.
Seems very original and is in sharp and welcome contrast to the mundane Rose of Tralee Festival.
