Thorpe Park's Fright Nights celebration transforms the Surrey theme park with scare actors, mazes and dark rides for Halloween.

Thorpe Park in Surrey held its Fright Nights celebration on 18 October, with extended evening opening to add a spooky element to rides and mazes. The event, celebrating its 25th year, transforms the theme park into what the outlet describes as a playground packed with scare actors, themed entertainment and frightening attractions.

The park is home to some of the UK's scariest rides, including SAW - The Ride and The Walking Dead: The Ride. Fright Nights proved particularly popular with teenagers and secondary school-aged children attending in groups, though family-friendly options were also available for younger visitors.

Those attending could experience various attractions, from extreme scares with costumed performers to gentler options. One visitor encountered a character as Lucifer, described as wearing black and red with horns, and family members with younger children opted for attractions such as the Flying Fish rollercoaster and a 4D cinema experience with added effects. Evening entertainment included a disco sponsored by Fanta.
