Like when Mariah Carey warms up for Christmas once the temperature starts to drop, Alton Towers starts its spooky transformation when the nights get longer and the leaves on the trees turn golden. The Scarefest Halloween event at Alton Towers promises thrills, chills, and shocks for the bravest of souls who dare enter the theme park during the most terrifying month of the year\u2026<\/p>\n

The award-winning Scarefest at Alton Towers has scare experiences that thrill-seekers of every age will find spooktacular, such as Scare Mazes, live shows, and, of course, The Alton Towers Dungeon. With the theme park staying open until 9pm during Scarefest, there\u2019s also the opportunity to ride Alton Towers attractions like Wicker Man and The Smiler after night falls \u2014 but, be warned, although you can see the upcoming twists, turns, and drops in the daylight, riding these pulse-raising rides in the dark is a whole new ballgame.<\/p>\n

Plus, with Scarefest activities running throughout the park\u2019s opening hours, there is plenty of time to enjoy the spooky attractions as well as themed areas like CBeebies Land and Sharkbait Reef by Sea Life.<\/p>\n

Scarefest at Alton Towers is an award-winning annual event which sees the Stoke-on-Trent theme park transformed into a labyrinth of Scare Mazes, spine-tingling live shows, and more. During Scarefest, you can take on the rides in the dark \u2014 will you be brave enough to tackle the six-storey high Wicker Man which bursts into flames as you descend? Or how about plummeting into the pitch black while riding Oblivion? There\u2019s also family-friendly Halloween events, such as Halloween characters\u2019 live performances at a playground.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the most exciting places to be at this year\u2019s Scarefest is The Alton Towers Dungeon. The 45-minute experience takes you through five shows, including The Haunting, where you\u2019ll take refuge in an abandoned cottage, and The Highwayman, where you\u2019ll meet the most cunning highwaymen who are taking refuge in the dungeon, as well as a boat ride. The Black River Boat Ride takes you beneath Alton Towers to experience the terrifying dungeon residents and the less-than-lovely smells.<\/p>\n
