HAUNTED ATTRACTION
This Halloween, Sthlm Scare invites you inside VAIN – a cosmetic clinic where perfection is bloody serious.
Behind immaculate surfaces, something has gone badly wrong. Treatments have become experiments. Beauty has become obsession.
Move through a clinical nightmare of body horror, distorted beauty and psychological manipulation, where every flaw must be fixed.
BEAUTY IS PAIN

We are unable to admit wheelchair users access as the indoor route includes climbing, crawling, narrow spaces, uneven flooring and multiple levels that make safe passage impossible.
Due to the physical nature of the experience, visitors must be able to climb ladders, crawl and move through narrow spaces. Please consider these requirements carefully before booking as the route may not be suitable for everyone.

Walking – and partly crawling – through VAIN takes approximately 10 minutes, depending on your group’s pace. This does not include any time spent waiting in line.
Please note that groups are limited to a maximum of two (2) people.

Guests are strictly prohibited from touching or striking the performers. Any act of aggression will result in the immediate removal of your entire group and the incident will be reported to the police. No refunds will be issued in such cases.
