Fans of mock decapitation and dismemberment will delight in the news that Eli Roth is planning to build a "Goretorium" in Las Vegas.

The multi-storey, haunted house-style attraction follows the screaming success of Hostel: Hunting Season, a walk-through horror maze built in the Universal Studios lot that is based on Roth's infamously gory 2005 film, Hostel.

No details of the horrors that await Goretorium visitors yet been announced, but we can take our cues from video footage of the Hostel attraction, which reveals a cornucopia of spooky lighting effects, blood-curdling screams and work-a-day actors waving bloodied prosthetics at fast-walking tourists.

Roth has pre-offers to open Goretorium franchises in London, Tokyo and New York, but hopes that the Vegas flagship, which will be built just off the Strip, becomes "the world mecca for horror fans". The Vegas Goretorium will open on 27 September.
