ALIEN SPACECRAFT DISCOVERED IN THE ARCHES BASEMENT
“An Alien Spacecraft discovered in the basement of the Arches has been quarantined by the British Army who are now patrolling the site. We are all trying to work at the venue as normal during this time but it has been agreed with governmental authorities that we can invite members of the public to view this amazing discovery in small groups.” Spokesperson, The Arches, Glasgow, Scotland.
Rumours suggested it would be London or Los Angeles, but we are proud to announce that the world premiere of terrifying total reality experience Alien Wars will return to its ‘spiritual’ home at the Arches, Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday 6th December.
If it was frightening before, it will be utterly bone shaking this time around as the drama moves from the original location of the street level arches and deep into the very bowels of the venue (where there have been ghostly sightings in the past).
The original thrilling experience, which pulled people out of their armchairs and into the middle of the action, claimed 100,000 victims when it opened at the Arches in 1992. No longer were they watching a movie, they were in it for real. For this long awaited sequel, Alien Wars, the experience has been developed so that it is right up-to-date and set to devour a new generation of victims.
Gary Gillies, one of Alien Wars two creators, said: “We are delighted that the world premiere of this new show is back where it belongs at The Arches in Glasgow, Scotland. We look forward to inviting into the Alien’s lair the youngsters who came to the original experience, brave new devotees and of course die hard sci-fi fans.”
The experience also ran at London’s Trocadero, attracting Sigourney Weaver, star of the Alien films, to the launch event. Sigourney, after getting up close and personal with Giger’s horrific creation, wasn’t too prepared to go for another round with the big guy. She said back in 1992: “Although I have been through the movie, I was screaming as much as everyone else.” Tony Blair also attended the event. When Michael Jackson visited Glasgow in 1992 for his Dangerous Tour, the King of Pop sent his bodyguards in to face the alien and test the water. They ran out half way through!
Don’t miss this thrilling experience and remember, in the Arches basement no-one can hear you scream...
