Dungeon puts the 'grot' in grotto!
Edinburgh Dungeon is offering weary Christmas shoppers a handy diversion…a chance to visit their 'alternative' festive offering Satan's Grotto!
With queues that stretch for as far as the eye can see, murderous prices and demonic store assistants… the annual gift trail can be perfect torture.
That's why Edinburgh's grisliest attraction has lined up a characteristic side-swipe at the Yuletide celebrations.
Elves impaled on spikes and robins roasting over an open fire will greet visitors to the Market Street attraction, whilst Santa gently boils in a witch's cauldron.
Only the naughtiest of children can perch on the knee of the sprawling red-cloaked prince of darkness before confessing their secret desires … but beware wishes often come true!
Cross his palm with silver to try the 'yucky dip' or get expertly made up as a scary monster to claim revenge on frosty festive shoppers once back on the high street.
All the usual Dungeon fare will be available too, of course…from the torture chamber and anatomy theatre to the Witchfynder Boat ride and its chilling climax in the cave of cannibal Sawney Bean.
"We're not out to offend anyone, just to provide some welcome relief from an experience many people find even scarier than anything we have here at the Dungeon," said marketing coordinator Scott Williamson.
The Dungeon's own gift ship will be open as usual, however, with a multitude of ideal gifts for the awkward, unloved or plain unpopular relative!
