Love Hurts

“Welcome to the Diced Heart Pub. Owned by Professor Heart, he wants you to find his your soul mate at one of his famous speed dating nights.

Love Hurts returns to the Screamfest Burton lineup as one of the long-standing attractions that really needs no changing. This attraction remains pretty unchanged from what we remember but this isn’t a bad thing, with it always being a solid scare maze. The scares were strong as always with the most actors we’ve ever seen in there before. The themeing set from each scene is always incredible and the storyline flows throughout. The actors were very energetic & creepy, screaming and jumping around everyone. Whilst at this point we know the ending, it always gets us!

Le Theatre Noir

“Le Theatre Noir presents THE SISTERS OF DEATH. For one night only witness their ritual of the soul. Come one… Come all…” 

A brand new attraction for 2021 that replaces Insomnia. Le Theatre Noir presents The Sisters of Death, a unique attraction which we’ve started to see more places do. A slight disappointment with it being called a maze when it’s not, this attraction is more of a show experience which takes place. Compared to previous mazes that used to be situated in this building, it’s upsetting to see it be changed for something new however, we are sure to most customers this will be enjoyed as something different. Sometimes attractions aren’t well received in its opening year and we believe this fits that category but, we are sure this concept may become more popular in future additions if it did return.

Creed Farm

“Creed Farm provides fresh meat…of the highest quality. Come on down and experience the harvest for yourself.” 

Creed Farm is another brand new for 2021, replacing our favourite attraction of the event and of the 2019 season, Dia De Los Muertos. Whilst bitter of the loss of our favourite maze, we wanted to give Creed Farm a fresh opportunity to see what Screamfest could do with this space. We do see the loss of some of our favourite features, such as the hayride and the happy theme but what was given back was a much darker and scarier theme. The scares therefore were beyond terrifying, where so many times we were caught off guard and were left running, falling over and jumping out of our skin. The themeing of the indoor sets were good and the effects used like smoke filled any voids needed. The outside sections were in a corn maze which is always spooky at the dead of nights. The actors did a fantastic job in this haunt, giving a range of scare tactics, building tension and getting your heart racing, or blending into the scenery. Due to the range of different effects and how the maze is presented, it came together as a complete package that was impressive.
