This terrifying VR experience is the stuff that nightmares are made of

And we thought VR would only ever be used for good…

The utterly sadistic team at The Nightmare Realm promise to push you well outside your comfort zone through their mastery of the dark arts of fear. If you think you’re brave enough to make it through the Nightmare Realm without screaming like a baby, it’s their job to prove you wrong.

And more often than not, if you stroll through Molly’s Murder House, The Witches Hovel, and Smilers Abattoir, they will prove you wrong.

The Nightmare Realm has been scaring the Bejaysus out of absolutely everyone who walks in, and now the Fanta VR room adds further to the experience. I could barely do the rest of The Nightmare Realm afterwards! As well as being restrained to a chair with the VR headset on, there are people there who will reach out to physically grab your arm at random points.

There will likely be a lot of people making frantic calls to their mammies…

Our own Justine Stafford went to see the VR room for herself, and she said it was “All a little too real for my liking. I could barely do the rest of The Nightmare Realm afterwards!”

“Think of the least scary thing you can possibly imagine. Yeah, the VR Room is the exact opposite of that,” she said.

If hearing about the terrifying VR Room only makes you want to go even more, The Nightmare Realm will be open in the RDS until Friday, 2 November. If it stays any longer than that, half the country will be forever emotionally scarred.

Do you enjoy being scared to your very core? You could also go for a Halloween trip to some of Ireland’s most haunted castles

Fanta is a proud sponsor of The Nightmare Realm. It’s thirsty work being chased around by zombies and whatnot, so be sure to pick up a bottle of Fanta. The limited-edition Halloween packs now come with exclusive Snapchat filters as well!
