Production Company

Jason is Creative Producer for AtmosFEAR! - the UK 's first scare attractions and entertainment production company, which is part of AtmosFEAR! Entertainment Group.

AtmosFEAR! is the UK’s most experienced location based independent scare entertainment production company.  It is a ‘one stop shop’ with the experience and expertise to oversee an entire project from initial concept through to construction, operation, and eventual completion.  AtmosFEAR! designs custom turnkey attractions, creates overlays of existing attractions, produces interactive street theatre, themed dining experiences, imagineers visual multimedia content, acts as a consultancy and produces site specific theatrical productions. With few limits on geographical location, audience demographic or budgets, the team produces entertainment solutions that can operate at theme parks, shopping malls, restaurants, heritage properties, museums and even private houses.

 

With an ever increasing demand for this emerging form of UK leisure entertainment, operators from all areas of the tourism industry are realising the potential financial gain and increased throughput that the scare attraction and entertainment industry offers them.  With the annual ‘scare season’ growing year on year, UK Halloween tourism is now big business and is worth £120 million annually.  Research shows audiences enjoy being thrilled by ‘safe scares’ and 90% of UK households now participate in Halloween related entertainment, with new temporary, seasonal and year round attractions opening each year.  AtmosFEAR! is the UK’s only ‘one stop shop’ which has the proven experience to undertake all aspects of scare attraction and entertainment production.

 

Our tried and tested formula for fear combines history and fantasy to create storylines which sit neither in the realm of fact or fiction, but instead are a clever mixture of both.  This creative blend leaves the audience questioning what is real and what is not, and allows them to become immersed in our fictional ‘world’.  In our attractions realism is key; by using a system of effects we can place our visitors in a world where anything can, and does, happen.  While other attraction creators copy the basic USA formula for fright, our approach is more theatrical, with interactive scripting and attention to detail which creates a rich multi levelled experience.  AtmosFEAR! attractions leave guests screaming one minute and laughing the next!  Instead of a series of unrelated scenes, each vying for the guests attention, AtmosFEAR! focuses on storytelling using architecture, colour, texture, smell, sound, light and a myriad of small details to create a themed narrative which is believable, and in which reality is temporarily suspended.

 

AtmosFEAR!’s attractions are the perfect publicity hook which can put your venue on the map, increase public awareness and visitor throughput.  In 2009 our 'Scare Kingdom Scream Park' was seen by over 6 million viewers on prime time BBC1, and our permanent overlay attractions 'Buccaneer Bay & The Sunken Village of the Damned' featured in a 60 minute attraction makeover programme for Virgin 1.  After beating competing propositions from other attraction producers, business guru Duncan Bannatyne chose AtmosFEAR! as his scare entertainment production company of choice. 

 

If you have a corporate team to entertain let us lock the boss in a haunted dungeon, or take your clients to the limits of fear!  Perhaps a wedding party with a difference is what you are looking for, or maybe our children’s interactive adventure shows could be the central part of your event entertainment plan?  Our productions are limited only by imagination.

 

By combining real historical locations, haut cuisine, detailed visual theming, tactile effects, theatrical scent, sounds, animatronics, prosthetics and live acting talent, we are able to deliver an interactive entertainment experience like no other.  Our attractions have strong back stories, theatrical illusions and themed environments which allow the audience to temporarily immerse themselves in fantasy situations where escapism, exhilaration and fun are top of the agenda!
