Japan’s new ‘haunted ambulance’ service will scare you on the go, while following Covid-19 protocols
Horror wheels
The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the entertainment business, and haunted house experiences are no exception. Companies are now coming up with creative workarounds to stay in business. One such ingenious service is the Screambulance, a mobile haunted house in the form of a bloody, beaten down ambulance with an even scarier interior, and a zombie-like staff.

The Scream-bulance is touted as the country’s first mobile horror experience. It’s basically a horror delivery service, adapted to the crazy times we live in. The scary-looking ambulance will turn up and park outside your home at a pre-determined time, ready to deliver the spine-chilling thrills you’ve been missing.
The interior of the custom-made Screambulance features medical equipment, complete with bags of fake blood hanging from the ceiling, splattered blood all over the place, as well as audio scares, recorded using the latest 3D sound recording microphone, KU100. Combined with the stereo system, it’s said to deliver audio that makes you feel like there’s someone else in the ambulance with you.
The Screambulance can be booked online and will serve thrill-seeking clients in all 23 wards of Tokyo. It can serve a party of up to six people, for 15-minute horror sessions, at a cost of 9,000 yen (Rs 6,000). The vehicle is manned by zombie-like staff that sadly, won’t interact with users. The experience is designed to abide by Covid-19 rules, including social distancing. The ambulance will also be completely sanitised and ventilated between each use.
