Update 17th March 2024: The Butcher has now closed.

The Butcher

Anna is daring and inquisitive, Max is sensible. She encourages him to try new things. He stops her from doing stupid stuff. USUALLY. But not today. Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s the wine. Because today, when Anna finds a randomly-unlocked shutter on a random side street, Max isn’t quick enough to persuade her not to go inside. His mind is on the picnic they’ve just had, the kisses they’ve shared. So what if Anna is intent on seeking out some new dark and gloomy place to scare him with. It’s just Anna being Anna, right? This is why he loves her. It’s just an adventure. A dare. It’ll be OK. And then the shutter bangs down, and everything is very far from OK.

Fun House

Mr Crimson was the owner of a sought-after fun house in a small town. His fun house was like no other. It put the player’s skills and wit to the test. He built this place for his son, whom he loved very much. His wife was a wonderful woman too. They were just a lovely family. Mr Crimson was the happiest man, and his fun house was the happiest place you could ever visit. Until… The family went on a trip in late August. Only Mr Crimson returned. His wife and son passed away in a car accident. Mr Crimson was not the same anymore. He not only lost his family, but he lost his soul too.
He started to collect haunted toys and ornaments to bring his family back from the dead. Something changed about the Fun House too. It became a cold, dark place. Strange things started happening. Those who entered the Fun House were never seen again. Nor was Mr Crimson…
