Nightmare Realm Outbreak In Cork
Footage of Cork Footballer Noel O’ Leary being kidnapped by ghoulish figures whilst working in Lotamore woods, Cork, has went viral on Youtube.
Things began to escalate out of control earlier in the week when Mr. O’ Leary, a tree surgeon by trade, was last seen running through the woods before being captured at chainsaw point by a deranged clown.
But do not be panicked- this incident corresponds with a live walk through scare house experience coming to Cork for the month of October.
The Nightmare Realm is a professional scare house developed using elaborate and high-tech production equipment with movie-quality props, prosthetics and effects. The "Realm Team" is made up of talented designers, scenic artists, craftsmen, sound & lighting crews, and make-up artists who work hard to create gruesome and terrifying experience.
Actors have been trained in the art of psychological scare tactics and transformed via the use of professional masks, costumes, makeup and prosthetics so that they become weird and manic characters, truly the stuff of nightmares!
Established in Tralee in 2009 it has attracted thousands of visitors to date and this is the first time it has come to Cork. Each year the event has a new theme – in Tralee it will be "Hotel Del Diablo" while the new Cork Venue is themed "Disease Control".
Located in Navigation House on Albert Quay "The Nightmare Realm" is being pitched as an asylum of the damned. Having been infected by a terrible outbreak, what few survivors remain are the undead and the clinically insane.
Not for the faint hearted, tickets will cost €12 for adults and €10 for students and are available to purchase from www.thenightmarerealm.ie or from the door each night. The event is strictly for those over 13 years-old. The only question that remains is, is Cork afraid of the dark?
