This year The London Dungeon is promising its biggest, best and boldest Halloween season yet as it raises the curtain on a lavish new pumpkin-filled Halloween production in its new home in County Hall, next to the EDF Energy London Eye. AND following a record breaking run in 2012 the attraction is extending the Halloween revelries to a whole six weeks of scary fun!

Halloween revellers can meet the fiendish Sweeney Todd, with his evil ‘pumpkin pie making’ Mrs Lovett, get up close and personal with Jack the Ripper, Guy Fawkes, Henry VIII and a vast supporting cast of historical characters bringing 1000 years of authentically putrid London history to life. PLUS expect some stunning special effects, edge of your seat surprises and two exiting thrill rides. AND as it's Halloween there will be additional scares and laughs thrown in throughout the attraction including The London Dungeon’s own Halloween home ‘brew’ and a ghastly trick or treat lolly for every guest – will it be a Chupa Chups or a revolting insect lolly?
