Taste of horror for dinner

- KERSTIN KEHREN kerstin.kehren@news.com.au

PREPARE to have your spine tingled and your toes curled. The Little Restaurant of Horrors has arrived in Cairns.

The interactiv­e show was devised by Cairns Dinner Theatre co-owners Wes Evans and Brooke Archer-Evans, and has arrived just in time to spook audiences ahead of Halloween.

Mr Evans said he had long wanted to do a haunted house. The Little Restaurant of Horrors is the dinner theatre version of that dream.

“It is a different experience from what we’re normally known for doing,” he said.

Dinner guests will go through a haunted house-style maze, before being put into “asylum” rooms.

As part of the experience, they will dine on a threecours­e meal as normal.

“But instead of watching a show, they’re actually part of the show,” Mr Evans said.

“Eerie things happen all throughout the night. We’ve got clowns, we’ve got zombies,” Mr Evans said.

Little Restaurant of Horrors runs at Cairns Dinner Theatre until October 29. Tickets are via cairnsdinn­ertheatre.com
