Changing the subject: \u201cDracula; Escape The Castle<\/i>\u201d runs weekly at 10pm on Sunday nights on INsight (Sky 564)<\/strong>, a channel of which I had not previously heard, or available online<\/a> the next day. Bonus points for the apparent inclusion of a semi-colon in the show\u2019s title. (Is this a first?)<\/p>\n
\u201cDracula, Escape the Castle is an original, bloodcurdling gameshow which sees two duos trapped within an authentic Romanian castle, with only one night to escape \u2018Dracula\u2019. The contestants vary from lovers and family members, to best friends and colleagues. Locked inside the castle walls by charismatic host, Brendan Moar, duos must escape by completing various mental and physical challenges.<\/i><\/p>\n
In each episode, the two couples face three stages of being locked in room, with the ultimate goal of escaping in the fastest time. The fastest couple to escape the first two rooms, gain a 30 second time advantage in the final stage. This final is a frantic race to ignite a giant bat silhouette on the castle courtyard.<\/p>\n
Dracula is a game of skill, courage and trust: skill to escape the rooms; courage to find clues; and trust in your fellow teammate. To survive, contestants will have to utilise their skills and face their worst fears.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n
Might be a bit Estate of Panic<\/i>. Might not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Anyway I can’t say I’ve heard of the channel either but I’ll certainly be looking forward to watching it probably online tomorrow (I’m on Virgin Media and Dracula can’t touch virgins) (I’ve actually made that up but it would be brilliant if we could retcon the story to make the joke work thanks). If you have Sky and you watch tonight do let us know what you think.<\/p>\n
In other news if you like your games horror themed, GSN has put up the first ep of its new series of Hellevator<\/strong>\u00a0up on Youtube<\/a> for whatever reason and apparently ungeoblocked. It’s a bit more elaborate than the first season, better endgame, I’ve discussed it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Finally whilst we’re on the ghost train they’ve been filming the third series of Release the Hounds<\/strong> the last few weeks. I don’t know where they’ve been filming, I don’t know where they’ve got the contestants from (there’s been no obvious contestant call out this time round) and I don’t know when it’s going out – \u00a0a report from a little while ago suggested 2017. We look forward to it all the same. It will be interesting to see if not filming in the height of Summer makes any sort of difference.<\/p>\n
