'How I scare 4,000 people a night'

Available for over a year

Discover how a Tamworth prosthetics artist is at the heart of the biggest event of its kind in Europe. Kate Monroe has been working at the Traumatica ‘Festival of Fear’ in Germany, making monsters, zombies, and all things scary – who chase thousands of willing and paying participants in the Black Forest, almost every night through the months of September and October. The self-proclaimed ‘Hallowqueen’ started a career in make-up, face-painting at Twycroft Zoo, before becoming one of the world’s most in-demand artists, working at horror events across continents, and with Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris at the BRIT awards.
