“Legend has it that deep beneath the earth lies a portal – an ancient and evil passage known as the ‘Well to Hell.’ Engineers reportedly broke through to a mysterious underground cavern during a routine drilling operation in Siberia.

"When they lowered microphones into the shaft, they recorded chilling sounds of tormented souls – screams and wails so terrifying that the workers fled the site, abandoning their equipment.

“This Hallowe’en, the gateway to the unholy abyss will open on Shipquay Place, challenging those brave enough to confront their darkest fears.”
