SCARE FACTOR 2025
Scream Factory is again splattering itself across an enormous haunted trail, with twelve scare zones combining both indoor and outdoor horrors that do genuinely leave you screaming. We thoroughly enjoyed this haunted trail last year, and in 2025, not only did the classic scares return, but four all-new zones were introduced, from a blood-stained hospital to a graveyard filled with towering monuments and fiendish ghouls. The clue is in the name – Scream Factory will leave you screaming!

NEW GIRL IN TOON
The ultimate night of scares, I was invited to review the Scream Factory last year and very politely replied with a "HELL NO!". If you love your scares with plenty of shocks and surprises then this will definitely be up your street. The North East's biggest live scare event promises to be better than ever this Halloween.
FASHON VOUYEUR SCREAM FACTORY 2018
What you do need to know is that it’s definitely worth a visit. I travelled from Newcastle to Redcar with my sister which is around an hours drive and we felt it was easily worth it, and our first very unexpected scare which literally makes me throw the nearest person in front of me as a human shield and it’s not even a person who arrived with us. We’re off to a great start and Scream Factory just gets better from there.
SCREAM FACTORY- MY BLOODY VALENTINE'S 2019
I don’t think it matters how many times I go to Scream Factory, I’ll always be a wreck. It really does feel like you are submerged into a world of horror. The characters, the sets, the smells, the bits of material hanging from above tickling across your face in the dark as you move cautiously through the winding maze. The lights flashing on an off, the liquid squirting from the dentists needle. Scream Factory tests all your senses, and definitely has me facing my fears.
I actually said as I left ‘I’m never coming back again, I’m done now. I can’t cope’. But before we’d completed the hours drive home I was saying I’m looking forward to returning at Halloween. Only my husband has said every time we’ve been he could do the isolation tour ‘No bother’, so I think this October, I may hold him to that.
SCREAMS DO COME TURE- HOW TO CHOOSE A FRIGHT NIGHT LIKE SCREAM FACTORY
Talking about clowns the other week I headed to Redcar, Teeside with my cousin in tow to check out the preview of Scream Factory.
If you’ve never heard of this crazy phenomenon then let me explain. Basically, you subject yourself to the unknown, scare yourself to the point you want to see yourself and then when you don’t think that’s enough, you scare yourself a little more!
One thing that I was really surprised about was the sheer size of the tour. I honestly thought it was going to be fairly small, even though I knew that it was the biggest scare attraction in the North East, but I was completely wrong. Every time I thought that we were in the last set, we entered another one, yet it didn’t feel like we were walking for a long time. In fact, the whole event went by in a blink! I was also massively impressed with the layout of each set.
