Bjorn of The Dead by Pop Horror
Everyone will know by now, that we cover a wide range of events. From scare attractions and scary room escapes through to immersive and live theatre - we celebrate all forms of entertainment. However, even we were surprised when the invite came in for Bjorn of the Dead!
Hosted at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London, Bjorn of the Dead is the latest show curated by the twisted minds at Pop Horror. Following the success of I Know What You Did Donna Summer, and The Cher Witch Project, they have turned their attention to Sweden’s greatest export – Abba. As you would expect - it was camp and cheesy in equal measures with Vaudeville acts doing horror inspired pop songs, all mixed up with some audience participation, and hosted by a bearded drag queen. The acts ranged from Annie Wilkes from Misery singing Lay all Your Love On Me, while holding a blood-covered axe, through to someone in a Saw head trap singing SOS while pulling her eyes out.
The Saw routine was probably the goriest of all the acts, with the rest of the shows generally going for humour more than horror, especially with drag king Adam Arr as a mad professor creating a man in a lab to the tune of Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight).
Between the shows were madcap games including a hilarious round of “Ikea or Swedish town” as we tried to guess the origin of certain words, and a convoluted Instagram photo challenge that we managed to win by default!
Clearly, given the location (RVT is one of London’s oldest and most famous gay bars) and the late night nature of the show, this really isn't for the easily offended, or the boring. The main host – Baby Lame was as potty mouthed as you would expect, but really pulled together all the disparate parts of the show to create a thoroughly entertaining night out.
Kudos has to go to Tim and Paul at Pop Horror who created this incredibly silly show and kept us entertained all night. It’s a testament to them that we originally planned to stay just for the first hour, but then found ourselves dancing away at the late night disco 3 hours later! Although a little, rough around the edges (faulty mics, missed cues etc.) this all just added to the charm, and we thoroughly look forward to their return visit to the venue this summer!
