Mercredi the Addams Family – Alain Coenen

How to experience Mercredi Coenen

Unlike a ghost train, you don’t sit in a carriage here; you walk through the house. In Flanders, attractions like this are called “Loopspookhuis”. You set your own pace, but have to face each scene directly. Narrow corridors, decorations, changing lights and sudden surprises will give you goosebumps. The atmosphere can also feel even more intense on foot than in a carriage.

The characters and effects currently featured inside may change from season to season. That’s why a second visit is well worth it.

The story of Mercredi Coenen

Walk-through horror houses have been part of the funfair scene in Belgium and the Netherlands for generations. With its theme based on Wednesday Addams, Mercredi draws on a modern pop-culture motif. Recent Belgian trade reports name Alain Coenen as the operator. The manufacturer, year of construction and length of the walk-through have not yet been documented publicly.

Who is the horror house suitable for?

Mercredi is aimed at teenagers and adults who enjoy horror and scares. The theme may be too dark for young children. Check at the ticket office to see whether there is an age limit. If you’re easily startled, it’s best to go in with someone else. Good to know: walk slowly in dark rooms and watch out for steps.
