Rupert Grint has seen the Grim! Well sorta, as the Ron Weasley actor attended a special opening of the Jack the Ripper Experience in London England. You can see new photos of Rupert Grint at the London Dungeons, site of the The Jack the Ripper experience, here in our galleries. The website describes this exhibit as such: “1888, and the fear rises inside you as you enter Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel. As you wander the stinking slums the true horror of his terrible crimes is revealed in bloody, graphic detail. And then a scream, the flash of a cloak and an evil smile as you come face to face with Jack the Ripper himself… will you survive?” You can read more about the legendary tale of Jack the Ripper via this link. (Caution to parents of younger children is given due to the graphic nature of the background story of Jack the Ripper.)

This is more of a comment on the exhibition itself. I can’t help but wonder where are we going when people start exploting criminal acts as a way entertainment. It isn’t often that I speak seriously here and I am sure I will get bashed for saying this, but I find this whole Jack the Ripper experience a bit disturbing. It isn’t a fictional character, the man was a murderer for chrissake!

But yeah, blahblahblahRupert is coolblahblahblah.

If this freaks you out, don’t go to London…for years they’ve had “Jack the Ripper Walks” and all kinds of exhibits in Madam Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors and the Black Museum. It depends if you are fascinated by true crime stories or not. Jack the Ripper is also a mystery as they still have never found out who he (or she) was, and the inspiration for tons of film, literature and fiction.

There are also ghost tours and so on. That’s England!

The London Dungeons is kind of the hokey/commercial one though. But it sounds like an interesting “interactive” exhibit.

Fer_keeper this is also history, they are showin what happend in the past of UNSOLVED murders. Jack The Ripper not only grips the imagination and makes people wonder what kind of a person he/she was because i dont think they ever desided if the murderer was male or female. I find hime intereting enough to want to go on the “ripper walks”. but sadly cannot. AS for exploiting the act for entertainment value. What was Sweeney Todd? Fictional yes but still a crime. You didnt have to look at this news item if you didnt like the subject. I find it very interesting ruperts into this sort of thing. Personally i hope he watches ghost hunters.

Rupert looks thin and a bit pale, notice his nose is red compare to his entire face. I don’t really know what is so cool about this exhibition, I found this freaky mroe than cool, on the other hand I heard Rupert likes scary and horror films, so maybe he is drawn towards this kind of thing…creppy!
