Nightmares await for visitors of Sally-built attraction
07 Nov 2014 . BY Jason Holland
The attraction is set in the home of evil scientist Dr. Morphio
Sally Corporation has created a walk-through haunted attraction for Sweden’s Gröna Lund. It will feature animatronic characters and props, CGI video effects, live wire illumination, video projection, Pepper’s Ghost illusions, ultraviolet illumination, and live performers.

The attraction, ‘House of Nightmares’, is set to open in 2015. Set in an old Victorian mansion, it focuses on the evil fictional character of American scientist and former TV show host Dr. Morphio who conducts unsettling experiments such as forcibly extracting dreams from the minds of human subjects and bringing their nightmares to life.

House of Nightmares has been specially designed for Gröna Lund as a “complete redevelopment” of a classic walk-through haunted house. It features two large video screens, special effects, lighting and sound to generate the frightening mood.

“The House of Nightmares has been an exciting and challenging project for both Sally and Gröna Lund,” said John Wood, CEO of Sally Corporation.

“As with many of our projects, we first entered into an exploratory design development agreement to develop concepts that we thought would work well in the facility and in Stockholm. Our team came up with numerous themes of which three were selected to explore in greater detail. Eventually, the House of Nightmares was picked as the best one to scare the fool out of the park's guests.”

The age limit of the attraction is currently being discussed.
