The top secret Ministry of Fear Classification (M.F.C.) was set up by
Winston Churchill in a desperate bid to end the Second World War.
Their aim was to investigate the true meaning of fear, how to contain
it and in turn use it as a weapon.
The research was thorough and ‘tests’ were carried out on living
subjects. These guinea pigs were subjected to chemical testing and
put through torturous, barbaric experiments which included placing
them in horrific simulations of their deepest darkest fears and
passing them off as reality. The subjects were paid well to keep their
mouths shut… if they survived. Their research proved to be a
success and the M.F.C utilised the techniques and effects they
discovered to great triumph. They were soon referred to as the
‘Fright Club’.
However, after the war ended, the Fright Club was no longer needed and their brutal methods were discarded. The majority of the lab workers were professionally ‘disappeared’, but some of the more stubborn ones simply vanished.
Fifty years on, and the old laboratory has been unearthed. A new group of scientists have decided to continue the research that had long since been forcibly abandoned. With genius and insanity in equal measures they have set about re-discovering the dark realms of human psychology.
