Inside Nightmares Fear Factory After Dark

Inside Nightmares Fear Factory After Dark is a commercial for the Niagara Falls Canada attraction of the same name. The plot of this ad is somewhat similar to Ghost in the London Dungeon

The commercial starts off by showing the attraction's logo before cutting to CCTV footage dated 2012-09-05 of the attraction's gift shop where several shirts can be seen. A subtitle appears stating that the footage was captured from inside the Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls Canada before cutting to a dark room with a ceiling lamp and finally to a blackboard on the wall showing their "Chicken List" (the number of tourists who were too scared to complete the attraction) which has a tally mark of 13 tourists for that day and 117,989 to date. During this scene a shadow quickly moves past the wall with more text appearing explaining that it was the janitor.

After about 18 seconds the footage changes to the janitor standing in the queue at the attraction's entrance before walking into a storage closet and grabbing a broom. After he leaves the stoplight on the wall flashes twice then the camera goes back to the queue where the janitor is shown sweeping the floor as more text appears saying the janitor works alone "or so they thought" as the cameras cut back to the gift shop shown at the beginning of the video.

After 43 seconds the janitor is seen walking through the gift shop. However after he leaves the frame one of the shirts falls off the shelf but the janitor does not notice and keeps sweeping the floor until he suddenly looks up at the Chicken List where a figure is shown walking from behind the wall. However the camera glitches before it gets a good view of it and abruptly goes back to the janitor who is still sweeping.

The next scene starts with more text saying that the caretaker is starting to get nervous due to strange unexpected happenings and is going to check the camera as we are shown the staircase leading to the entrance. Once the text disappears the camera cuts back to the queue where the janitor is shown walking out of the frame then suddenly appears right in front of the camera and checks it by waving his hands in front of it for a few seconds. Once he is done checking he leaves the frame again to go back to cleaning when suddenly a loud chatter is heard with text explaining that it is unusually loud outside considering how early in the morning it was. According to the timestamp the footage takes place at 4:20 AM.

The scene then cuts to outside where a group of teens are shown hanging by the attraction's entrance being generically rowdy as text appears calling the teens "late night thrill seeking party people" as the janitor goes back inside as text states that the caretaker still feels uneasy because there is a strange heat and smell coming from inside so he goes into the main attraction to investigate but there is nothing there so he goes back to the lobby. However before he makes it there he suddenly turns around and goes back into the attraction as several disturbing sounds are heard and the camera quickly cuts to all four areas of the attraction and then back to the lobby where the caretaker is shown desperately crawling out of the attraction then standing up grabbing his neck then limping away. Once he is out of the frame the camera cuts to the same four areas as when he first left the lobby. However this time it cuts to a dark hallway instead of back to the lobby.

After showing the dark hallway for a few seconds a man with pale white skin and a black shirt quickly runs to the camera. Then his eyes turn black and his mouth opens and grows two long fangs on his top teeth as he screams at the viewer before quickly walking backwards until he is out of view.

The commercial ends with the same logo from the beginning of the video with text below it promoting the 100,000 people who have "chickened out" and inviting viewers to visit. The video ends with the bold text: "IT'S THAT SCARY!!" before a link to the attraction appears along with multiple social media logos beside it.
