Unsuspecting members of the public were given a hair-raising experience as they braved the world’s first ever haunted doll’s house. The mysterious attraction appeared as Alton Towers Resort revealed that its eerie new dark ride The Curse at Alton Manor will begin spooking visitors from March 18.
Waves of adults and brave youngsters formed at the pop-up as those who dared cross its threshold were confronted by a series of supernatural clues and teasers of what awaits when the immersive dark ride opens. The experience culminated in the first sighting of Emily Alton - the child from the original haunted house, whose demonic exploits inspired the ride.
In a video released by the theme park, she can be heard laughing and counting in the doll’s house, as if playing a game with visitors. A series of sinister messages scrawled across a dark corridor and giant mangled teddy that chased people out of the house, only added to the chilling experience.
