Across four separate screenings at the Mayhem Horror Film Festival, Thrill Laboratory will be examining and monitoring the effects of horror films on members of the audience.

Thrill-seeking volunteers are urgently required for an interactive experiment that will test the human response to horror. During the festival, and under close medical supervision, human guinea pigs will be wired up to a specially designed wheelchair that measures physiological signals, such as heart rate, sweat response and facial expressions which will be monitored and the results projected 'live' outside the auditorium.

To take part in this unique event - exclusive to Mayhem - download a Thrill Laboratory application form here, and become a volunteer. The chosen patients will gain free entry to the selected screenings and test just how frightening this year’s festival is.
