"London Dungeon" - quite a popular tourist attraction. Although, of course, fun for everybody.

"Dungeon" was opened in 1975 as a museum of horror stories, which portrayed all sorts of bloody scenes from the city of the past. Gradually, however, the museum has turned into an interactive theater. Almost forty years he was on Tooley Street, near London Bridge, but in 2013 moved to Westminster. Now he is in front of Big Ben, close to the "London Eye" in vast underground rooms beneath the building County Hall. Before the move "Dungeon" sold out the old props, and it turned into a single view: people bought and happily dragged into the trunk "polusgorevshie" skeletons, huge scythe and 'severed' head.

The motto of the new play "Dungeons" - "Fear - a fun thing." Comedy (both funny and nasty) begin already in the closet. During the performance sound jokes, foreign tourists can not understand them, but the fear is understandable to all. Half-hour show is constructed as follows: if traveling in time and space, the audience moved from one point to another (a total of eighteen), and actors with the help of special effects play frightening scenes.

It's a bit like a children's animated horror stories about the black hand, only here everything is based on historical facts, and visitors are always involved in the action. That Henry VIII accuses viewers of treason, then we have to go through a dirty alley between the black crosses, rotting corpses and hungry rats (portrayed by the plague in London), in the labyrinth of narrow streets behind panting Jack the Ripper. The viewer becomes a participant of the Gunpowder Plot, then the accused in court, gets to the torture master, a barber Sweeney Todd (according to legend, he killed his clients and his girlfriend makes them filling for pies) or even to the foot of the gallows. A lot of dark, special effects, flashing lights, artificial blood, horrible screams and moans. Spectators scream as good actors.

And although the evil tongues say that the worst thing in the "London Dungeon" - this is the price at the gift shop, still many (even those who have left school) leave happy, as after a roller-coaster.
