A long, empty hotel corridor at The Britannia, framed prints on the walls and ceiling lights leading to a far door

Halloween’s just around the corner, so what better time is there to go running around aged hotels with an axe, pretending you’re Jack Torrance from The Shining?

Don’t worry, no one actually went mental and no one got hacked to bits, but we can confirm that police custody is an uncomfortable place to spend an evening.

Probably should have bought a prop axe in retrospect.

Big thanks to The Britannia for turning a blind eye to our lunacy.
