The Human Centipede Becomes Tourist Attraction At London Tombs


This is a great bit of news, especially if you like Tom Six’s repugnant but brilliant horror invention The Human Centipede. The director has teamed up with London Bridge Experience and London Tombs for a Halloween treat: the recreation of the movie – with live human centipede. Cracking stuff!

The UK’s scariest attraction will be teaming up with one of the world’s most controversial cult horror films for its most terrifying Halloween ever – featuring a live human centipede.

The London Bridge Experience & London Tombs have teamed up with the director of The Human Centipede – Tom Six, and its UK distributor Bounty Films – to recreate the terror of the film to give visitors the scare of their life.

As part of the London Bridge-based attraction’s Halloween programme PhoboPhobia ‘After Dark Extreme Scare – The Human Centipede’- will feature sets recreating the horror of the film, including the evil Dr Heiter’s laboratory, clips from the film and audio as well as the main attraction – a live human centipede.

The Human Centipede(First Sequence) film will also be screened but will only be available to a select few and only those booking early via Ticketmaster will get the chance to watch the film. The film features a mad doctor who kidnaps and mutilates a trio of tourists in order to turn them into a human centipede.

The film has a cult following and has become extremely controversial with its sequel – The Human Centipede 2 being banned in Britain and labelled as the ‘sickest movie of all time’.
The film’s Director Tom Six, who visited the attraction recently, said:

“I went through the London Tombs and I loved every second of it. The actors really scare the hell out of you and the sets you go through are amazing and could easily compete with the best horror film sets.”

Tickets for both events are limited so early booking is essential. Tickets are £23 for adults, £21 concessions – OAPs and Students; £17 for Under 18s – although the age limit for ‘After Dark Extreme Scare – The Human Centipede’ is not recommended for under 16s.

“As well as the ‘After Dark Extreme Scare’ in the London Tombs – during the day visitors will be able to learn the ‘History Behind The Horror’ – exploring 2000 years of London Bridge’s dark Halloween history – travel back in time and be taken on a journey led by first-class actors and stunning special effects.

After the London Bridge Experience you will be given the option to descend into the London Tombs – winner of the ‘Best Year Round Scare Attraction’ at the Screamie Awards for the past three years.”

‘History Behind The Horror’ is running from October 17 to November 1 from 10am to 6pm.
