Redeemer Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hey guys, I just wanted to report on this cool thing R3d and I did over Christmas. We found out there was a show in Glasgow, run by the makers of the Alien series, called Alien War. Basically, you go in, and a marine takes you to these "underground ruins" that were recently discovered, but stuff goes wrong and a Xenomorph is on the loose. We were chased for 30 goddamn minutes, as well as having a close encounter with a facehugger and a hostage situation involving an unfortunate girl and a guy with a chestburster ready to pop out. XD It was a lot of fun, but the smoke machines really hurt my chest, because I'm asthmatic. I got a chest infection that week, maybe the two are related, eh. But yeah, it was so, so cool! And I discovered that Sigourney Weaver opened the first show in London, 20 years ago! Seriously, that woman is like, my idol. I wish I could have met her. XD Do you guys have any scare-attractions around your towns and cities? Have you ever been to one? I must admit, at the start of Alien War, I was so scared I considered turning back and giving up my ticket, but I pushed through once my adrenaline kicked in. And damn did it kick in, I was like, warm even though it was -2 C outside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeemer Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 And Vydrach, you should totally see if there are any events in the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 The wiki says there aren't any outside of the UK, but this line makes me Hhhnnnggggg: "The show was seen in various guises and briefly featured an actor dressed as the Predator for a spell prior to it closing in Glasgow." Also related is this, which is sadly outside of the US as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVPX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 AVPX. I now have reason to go to the land full of every animal that wants to kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 At the end of it, the last thing the marine did was look at me to point out: "nice lipstick", because yes, I had this pretty red mark on my face. Not sure if it Redeemer or Alien D: Other than a very occasional art expo in the streets, many with creepy/bizarre theme, not really much of an action thing like that. #Envy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAllosaurus Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 ...I want to make out with a facehugger, nothing cool ever happens where I live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 That would be quite the short-lived romance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Well, love hurts. I'm thinking about asking my friend to go to Alien War with me again. They change the show every week so that they have new scares! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 This sounds fantastic, didn't know this sort of thing existed. However I've always wanted to go to one of these Zombie Experience things if you haven't heard of them. http://wish.co.uk/adrenaline/zombies/ sort of like a Zombie Survival video game, but in real life, with actors. So much want. I enjoy scare/thrill walk through attractions, but I find that they're less scary when they're well done. Why? Because I'm too focused on the gorgeous scenery and amount of work put into them to actually be scared by anything inside them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hahahaha, well the Alien War experience was scary because it was totally black in some rooms, at one point I had to call out for R3dFiVe because I thought I was alone and lost. XD The zombie thing sounds cool! We have something like this here, but it's combined airsoft, so you like, have to shoot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
