Monsters of the Mine
Experience real fear this October at South Wales' ultimate scare-fest
Discover the chilling Monsters of the Mine at Zip World Tower, a one-of-a-kind Halloween scare in a South Wales coal mine.
Meet the monsters
Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Here’s everything you need to know about the monsters before you arrive…
Tyrant
The Monsters of the Mine leader, Tyrant will sit back and watch his minions do the hard work whilst he plots every move from the depths of the mine, only appearing when he has a taste for blood. A ruthless creature, Tyrant doesn't care who he scares; old, young, confident, shy... he's merciless with his victims.
The Watcher
Usually seen creeping around the entrance of the mine, The Watcher has no eyes, but can sense your presence. Move slowly and carefully, and he may not catch you; but run and scream and he will know you're there. Don't fall victim to The Watchers's seemingly slow pace.
Roach
With cracked skin and piercing red eyes from hundreds of years spent underground, Roach doesn't take lightly to intruders in his mine. A pesky monster with a temper, he will chase you down and out of his home; the only escape is on the zip lines above, or the Tower Climber, where he cannot reach you.
Gruel
Boisterous and unyielding, Gruel doesn't care who you are; he's out to get everyone and anyone. Whether you're in your car, checking-in or even tucking into some food, Gruel is coming for you. Keep your doors locked if you don't want an unwelcome visitor!
Skreacher
Skreacher hasn't had a chance to use those rows of sharp, flesh-tearing teeth for years while he's been trapped underground; so no doubt he'll be on the hunt for his next meal over Halloween. Those white eyes can see well in the dark, so there's no point hiding in the shadows when he's around.
Tusk
Slow but strong, Tusk may now be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he makes up for it in brawn. He's spent years underground, building his strength and waiting for his moment to strike.
Coblyn
There have been whispers of Coblyn within the Welsh mines for hundreds of years. He's said to have been haunting the mine, and is now heading above ground to haunt the unsuspecting guests at Zip World Tower. Once he's done wreaking havoc with his cheeky ways, he will head back underground where he belongs once more. Until next year.
Callan
Donned in his traditional kilt and ready to cause chaos, Callan has joined Monsters of the Mine from a remote Scottish lowland quarry, with a quest to help his Welsh monster pals rid the area of humans. Stay clear of his horns, which are sharp and dangerous. He's been known to chase and is the master of jumpscares.
The Executioner
Revelling in the pain and torment of his victims, The Executioner is always on the hunt for someone to be part of his twisted games. Ready to grab you at any time, we'd recommend running fast in the opposite direction when he's around. Usually found creeping around the carpark or terrorising adventurers as they wait to embark on the Phoenix adventure.
Spike
A gamemaster of sorts, Spike loves to torment his victims. Usually seen near the Tower Climber, Spike will pop up from every direction and taunt you from below as you try to make your escape. Easily disguised in the dark, he loves the sound of screaming humans as he jumps out from the shadows.
Yr Afanc
Crept from the depths of Llyn Fawr to join the Monsters of the Mine, Yr Afanc will stop at nothing to protect what is his. With zippers flying up ahead, he's on the hunt to rid the area of all humans who have long disturbed his peace.
Dodging monsters is hungry work
There’ll be plenty of chance to grab a bite to eat and drink at Monsters of the Mine, Cegin Glo offers hot food and drink, alongside a selection of cold beverages and cocktails. Be warned, just because you’re eating and drinking, that doesn’t mean you’re safe from the monsters!
