Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 16:49 · Archive

Hallowscream, an award-winning haunted house attraction at York Maze, opens tonight for a 17-night run.

Hallowscream, an award-winning haunted house attraction at York Maze, opens its doors tonight as the first and biggest Halloween scare event to open in Yorkshire. The event runs over 17 nights in October and can accommodate up to 2,000 visitors per night.

The attraction features five haunted houses: Corny's Cornevil with a clown theme; The Singularity with a sci-fi setting; The Flesh Pot with a cannibal theme; Necropolis with an ancient Egyptian theme; and Redneck's Revenge with an Americana theme. A sixth paid attraction, Corntagion, is new this year—a zombie-themed ride that takes visitors into a cornfield where 'a highly infectious fungus has jumped the species barrier and infected those working in the field'.

Beyond the haunted houses, the event includes live shows on the main stage every 15 minutes, rotating scare actors between attractions, a haunted shop, and a VIP section called Lucifer's Lounge where Blood Bag cocktails are served. Hallowscream runs until 1 November, operating on select nights from 6.30pm to 11pm with last entry at 8pm. The event is strictly for those aged 16 and over, and prebooking of tickets is recommended.
