“Madame Tussaud’s”

Обратите внимание на то, какие фразы используются в тексте, чтобы описать неприятное, пугающее впечатление, которое музей мадам Тюссо производит на некоторых посетителей:

• “It often comes as a shock to Londoners that Madame Tussaud’s is one of the capital’s top tourist attractions”.

• “Many find this museum gruesome and frightening”.

• “The Chamber of Horrors: there are models illustrating methods of execution; famous murderers in their appropriate settings; and, in the cells, the most infamous twentieth-century prisoners who were sentenced to life imprisonment for their vile crimes”.

• “Nowhere are the visitors quieter than in this eerie place (= the Chamber of Horrors)”.
