Famous faces attend preview of Knockhatch Adventure Park's new Halloween experience

Knockhatch Adventure Park came alive on Tuesday evening (October 13) as guests got to experience the park’s new Halloween-themed immersive experience.

A VIP preview was held for Charlie Shaw’s Revenge – a new scare attraction inspired by the upcoming British horror film.

The event gave visitors a first look at the attraction’s atmospheric sets, live performers and cinematic storytelling, all designed to pull people straight into the film’s universe.

The evening also drew a strong mix of famous faces.

Bill Fellows (Ted Lasso) and Mark Benton (Shakespeare & Hathaway) joined fellow cast member James Payton (Captain America: The First Avenger, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), who appears in the film as Otto.

All three spent time meeting guests, taking photos and talking about the project’s unusual blend of film and live experience.

Producer Renato Pires, whose background spans circus arts and independent British film, was also on site throughout the night. His creative direction has shaped the attraction from the ground up, giving it a level of theatricality and detail rarely seen in seasonal scare events.

Renato said: “We didn’t want to create just another Halloween walkthrough, the goal was to build something that feels genuinely cinematic, where people aren’t just watching the story, they’re standing inside it.”
