Many of us enjoy testing our nerves by seeing scary movies or going to theme parks, but in these events you can bring your worst fears to life. Werewolves, Zombies and other frightening characters can become as real as they are in your nightmares. If you're thinking of trying something a bit more terrifying with your friends, we recommend you have a look at these activities that are guaranteed to get your heart pounding and your palms sweating.
The Werewolf Hunt (England). Many of us dream of being chased by mythical creatures in dark forests, or of being hunted by a snarling being from the shadows. This experience, created with events company Chillisauce , brings those nightmares to life and allows you and your friends to build a fort, complete with trip wires and explosives, as you go out in search of a werewolf.
It's late, and it's dark, and based in an already creepy forest in the Midlands near Birmingham your heart is guaranteed to start racing. Your base is your safe zone, but after receiving weapons training and learning survival techniques you will want to set off into the woods in search of the beast. The werewolf isn't real but the feel of the day really makes you believe you are in a movie.

Zombie Shopping Mall (England). The Zombie Shopping Mall based in Reading, UK is seriously worth paying a visit. Based in an abandoned shopping centre with no electricity you and your mates have to navigate the shops and stair wells of a mammoth playing field. We all enjoy the typical slow moving undead, but these ones will chase you and it really is survival of the fittest as you climb broken-down escalators and tear through an abandoned chain of Clair's Accessories.
Armed with just a gun and a flashlight you can either creep up on your prey, or be prepared to get chased. No electricity and a start time of 6pm means you will need your torch as the darkness becomes a real survival issue, but if the zombies see the light they will be after you. This event is guaranteed to get your heart pounding. The death and infection of the zombies may be an act, but the panic, fear and adrenaline are all very real.

The Queen Mary (Southern California). There are some people who believe the historic Queen Mary to be haunted year-round, and who advise staying far away from this grand but spooky old ship on Halloween. But when the Queen Mary's resting place turns into “the harbor of the damned,” seemingly half of Southern California line up alongside the curious tourists to buy a ticket. Now you can hop aboard the 12-deck ship and experience 7 terrifying mazes, 1 sassy "fright mistress" in her private lair, a 45,000-square-foot "Dome of Doom" dance hall, and all the requisite skeletons, blood and gore.
Ghost Bus Tour (England).
But be warned. As you uncover our capitol's darkest secrets you shouldn't feel too comfortable in your seat. Live actors and some clever technical tricks will ensure that this is a bus journey you will never forget, and will seldom want to travel again. The bus, kitted out with typical haunting music and archaic furnishings, takes you past the usual suspects of the Tower of London and Crossbones, but some surprising tales are thrown in as well.
Perhaps the most endearing part of this tour is the banter. Traffic Jams and the odd drunken group sitting in the back row could lead many a hired actor to collapse, but The Conductor on this bus enjoys chat with the passengers as much he does telling you that Prêt A Manger is haunted.
