THORPE PARK Resort

THORPE PARK, has announced details of its first ever Halloween overnight scare attraction. Themed around the cult film The Blair Witch Project the experience forms part of the Park’s Fright Nights 2013 movie takeover line-up with Lionsgate UK.

 

Only for the bravest Fright Nights fans, the Park is offering an exclusive overnight trek into the darkness of The Blair Witch Project Scare Zone.

Inspired by the iconic Lionsgate movie, the terrifying, immersive outdoor experience will take place in an undisclosed area of the Park. Small groups of guests will stay over in The Crash Pad, The Park’s new onsite accommodation, but that’s where the comfort stops as the horror experience takes over.

 

Guests will also be able to experience the full horror movie takeover at THORPE PARK which includes live-action mazes based on some of the world’s most iconic horror films (The Blair Witch Project, The Cabin in The Woods, Saw, You’re Next and My Bloody Valentine) and the chance to ride exhilarating rollercoasters in the dark.
