Does anyone have any recollection of a miniature horror display at the base/basement of the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, Ontario circa 1970-74?
It was a very terrifyingly realistic version of various torture devices in operation(A la the Aurora Monster Scenes,but a thousand times as gruesome,In one I seem to recall a woman impaled through her private part :o)I couldn't believe that little kids were allowed to see it? :o

In for info....; sounds cool! I mean awful!
I could be wrong here, but I think this was some type of Ripley's display.

Yeah maybe to drum up business for them,It really did seem out of place at the tower. :-\
This has been on my mind all night!
I'm not pro-torture, but I do love a nice torture display

I think what we may be remembering, through the mist of time, is a
display by the famous Animated Display Creators Co

Although this talks of the show as travelling, I'm 99% certain there were permanent displays as well eventually.
