Scarefest at Alton Towers in Stoke-on-Trent is taking place on Oct. 6, 7, 13, 14, and 19 plus Nov. 2 2018.
The park is open until late so you take to the rides in the dark, including a six-storey high Wicker Man effigy bursting into flames. For those in search of terror, there are the award-winning scare mazes, with a brand new offering for 2018.
For younger kids, there are five Halloween characters in the Halloween playland including newbie Gretyl the witch, live shows, and the new CBeebies Monster Ball. There's also the House of Monsters maze for older children.
