The Legend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the former Cataract Coffin Factory, the Nightmare Fear Factory plays upon the legend of its location. The former proprietor of the property\u2014who seems to have particularly loved his coffin business\u2014was Abraham Mortimer. According to the legend, Mortimer was an eccentric man local youths loved to torment. He often responded to their antics with pranks and torments of his own.<\/p>\n

One night, while struggling with his tormenters, a stack of coffins fell upon Mortimer, crushing and killing him. Those responsible were never captured. And most mysterious of all, not long after the funeral Mortimer\u2019s coffin was found outside of its grave\u2014and empty! The legend is that he now roams the old factory. The Nightmare Fear Factory invites fear seekers to come in and roam with him.<\/p>\n

What to Expect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guests make their way through a maze of terror at their own pace. If you\u2019re truly bold, you may just make it to the end. If the fear becomes more than you can handle, you can scream, \u201cNightmares!\u201d Someone\u2014well, we assume it is someone\u2014will come, get you, and take you out of the maze. Don\u2019t worry if this happens to you. You are in the company of many. The Nightmare Fear Factory keeps track of those who have chickened out. As of late April in 2014, over 125,000 people have cried out in terror. The factory adds these people to the Chicken List.<\/p>\n

The Nightmare Fear Factory has received several awards for excellence. In online reviews people will say in the same breath how much they enjoyed it and how they will never go back. The Nightmare Fear Factory has been featured in numerous\u00a0media outlets and entertainment shows<\/b><\/a>\u00a0including CNN and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The hilarious pictures of terrified survivors and chickens are featured on the factory\u2019s\u00a0Flickr photo stream<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Things to Consider Before You Go<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like movies like Oculus and books by Stephen King, you need to let the nightmares of the screen and literature reach out and touch you! However, before making the trip, there are some things to keep in mind. The maze is not suitable for those who have problems with mobility, and it is not accessible for wheelchairs. Also, the minimum age to go through the maze is 8 years old, and even if older, you should consider if your child will have ongoing nightmares as a result. Those who chicken out do not get refunds. And those who are pregnant or have heart conditions should not go through the maze.<\/p>\n

The Nightmare Fear Factory is located on Victoria Avenue in the Clifton Hill District of Niagara Falls, Ontario. For more information visit\u00a0the Nightmare Fear Factory\u2019s website<\/b><\/a>. While on the website, take time to look at the videos and pictures of the terrified victims in the Fear Factory\u2019s nightmare. Enjoy them while you are still able to think they are funny. After you visit, you will have your own nightmare to enjoy.<\/p>\n
