Hallowe’en isn’t just for the kids . . . adults are in need of a good haunt, too!

The Woman In Black - Blackpool Grand Theatre: 31 October - 4 November
This Halloween, the Woman in Black descends upon Blackpool Grand Theatre, promising a spine-tingling night of atmospheric illusion and gripping horror. Prepare to be enthralled by this internationally acclaimed theatrical masterpiece, a production that has sent shivers down the spines of over 7 million people worldwide.
As it continues to terrify audiences across generations, the story unfolds with Arthur Kipps, plagued by an unshakeable belief in a curse cast upon his family by the ominous Woman in Black. To confront his fears, he enlists a sceptical young actor to help recount his chilling tale and attempt to banish the haunting specter that holds his soul in its icy grip. This theatrical experience promises to haunt your dreams long after the final curtain falls.
Pasaje del Terror - throughout October
Pasaje del Terror promises to go “beyond the limits of fear” and, from the feedback we’ve received (we’re massive wimps still mustering the courage to visit), the attraction absolutely delivers. Will you brave the UK’s longest-running and most intense scare-attraction for its 25th anniversary?
Located in the Casino Building at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Pasaje del Terror has a theatrical setting arranged into 20 sets and with around 18 actors lurking in the darkness. They represent famous characters from the world’s most prolific horror movies and, don’t worry, they’ll be sure to say hello.
The experience, which lasts about twelve minutes (depending on how fast you can run!) is terrifyingly realistic, with multiple special effects, fabulous costuming and frantic energy, and you’ll be left breathless and trembling until you find the exit.
A ticket to Blackpool Pleasure Beach park ticket is not required to experience Pasaje del Terror.
Dare you leave in the dark? Single tickets are just £12 if you book in advance. The attraction is not suitable for children under ten.
Circus of Horrors - 27 – 31 October
Blackpool is devilishly lucky; the fabulous Circus of Horrors troupe return to perform frequently at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and they’re back this year to make your toes curl from 27 October – 31 October.
The show is an amazing amalgamation of bizarre and fantastical circus acts that tell a shock-horror story, interwoven with magic, rock ‘n’ roll and loads of laughs. You’ll see fire eaters, contortionists, aerial acts, people being sawn in half, jugglers, and performers suspending themselves . . . by their hair. This gruesome spectacle features a wonderful soundscape, and is performed with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek.
The show is not suitable for children but there are child-friendly matinee performances at 4pm every day. Find out more information here.
