Outstanding Contribution to the Haunt Industry

WINNER Stuart Beare, Tulleys Farm

Voted for by the staff of the Haunted Attractions UK, this special award was given in recognition of the dedication and support that Staurt Beare of Tulleys Farm has showed to the scare industry.

Back in 1995 they held their first Halloween event. It may have been just one day and a pumpkin festival, but what happened in that day gave them the vision to carry on and expand. Two years later they opened their first haunted walkthrough – the Cottage… a few years later the Haunted Hayride and then in 2005 The Field of Screams. This impressive growth culminated last year when they added a further three mazes to their line up. More than many established theme park could offer…

Stuart has seen the potential in Halloween from the very start. He has been a father figure to many other farms and attractions that have strived to build an event and he was the very first person with whom we made contact when HA first started.




Outstanding Contribution of the Decade to the Haunt Industry (2000 -2009)
WINNER Lynton V. Harris, Sudden Impact Entertainment!

Back in 2002, a theme park group were looking to get into the Halloween market and not really knowing what to do themselves, contacted this expert for ideas.

At this point he had had a lot of experience in providing Halloween thrills, starting with a huge Halloween musical originally shown in his home town of Sydney, Australia culminating in the massive Madison Scare Garden which opened in 1983 in New York’s famous Madison Square Garden. This event soon became annual and in its first four years attracted over a quarter of a million visitors.

He then turned his expertise to theme parks and very soon had a huge number of hit attractions and a successful consultancy business on his hands.

Some of his work includes:

• SCREAM! Shanghai and Amsterdam
• Prison Break Live! Worldwide
• Universal Studios Monsters Alive! Las Vegas
• The Mummy Live! USA
• The Mummy Returns Live! Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia
• Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Live! Australia

In the UK, Lynton produced the original Terror of the Towers for Alton Towers, Freezer and Freakshow 3D for Thorpe Park, Chamber Live: Serial Killers for Madame Tussauds and Warwick: Ghosts Alive which ran for over 75,000 performances before being retired in 2008

If it hadn’t have been for him, the UK hallloween industry would be lagging even further behind the US than it already is.His attractions are legendary, his Scare School techniques are used by scare actors across the UK and his work is as popular today as it ever was.
