The world’s first truly tortuous cruise

Monday, 22 Dec, 2011 0

Carnival next April will host what it is calling the first horror convention at sea. “The Tides of Torture” cruise will feature stars from more than a half dozen “slasher” movies that include “Friday the 13th” and “Zombie’s Halloween.”

The four-night scare fest kicks off in Tampa on the 2,052-passenger Carnival Paradise.

Organizer Dark Star Fantasy Cruises says it'll include entertainment by national acts, movie screenings, a "scream queen" contest and a "Dance of the Dead."

Among the scary movie celebrities taking part in the event are Doug Bradley (Pinhead from the "Hellraiser" series) and Tony Todd (the "Candyman" series; “Final Destination 1, 3, 5”; and “Hatchet 1 and 2”).

Organizers also are touting the presence of a former porn star, Seka, as well as Jill Whitlow and Jason Lively from “Night of the Creeps,” Ashley C. Williams from “The Human Centipede” and nearly a dozen other film personalities.

Fares start at $699 per person, based on double occupancy.
