films in the forest In the same way that Jaws made everyone terrified of swimming in the sea, The Blair Witch Project put a generation off going to the campsite loos in the middle of the night. But braver film fans might dare attend an evening screening of the cult movie in the Lake District's Grizedale Forest, on 22 September. Tickets 11pp (over-15s only), through Picnic Cinema ( picniccinema.co.uk/picniccinema/events/t\\... ). Terror mazes Thorpe Park ( thorpepark.com ), the Surrey theme park, has hosted Halloween "Fright Nights" for more than a decade, and they include some rather horrible horror maze rides, with strobe lights, scary noises and actors jumping out at visitors. Those who dare enter the Saw maze are screamed at by chain-rattling, chainsaw-wielding blood-covered murderers, while the Asylum is rather more distasteful, with "lunatics" chasing willing participants around a building which smells disgustingly of (fake) vomit and urine ... pretty offensive to anyone with mental health issues, we thought. All the details of this year's Halloween events (12 October-3 November) have yet to be confirmed, but it's unlikely they'll involve nursery rhymes and fluffy bunnies.
