Despite the odds, Scare Kingdom Scream Park will be bringing the horror this Halloween 2020 season!
The multi-award-winning Halloween event that is Scare Kingdom Scream Park will be celebrating its 12th anniversary with a more spine-tingling show than ever before.
Voted the UK’s top scream park Scare Kingdom will combine live actors, special effects and heart-pumping thrills across seven all-new scare attractions and experiences for all ages.
From adrenaline junkies to courageous kids.
The Halloween event will last from October 2nd until November 7th giving you plenty of time to book a unique and terrifying experience.
It’s still unclear what measures Scare Kingdom will be putting in place for ‘socially distanced scares’ but after confirmation from Scare Kingdom tha
t the event is still going ahead, I’m even more excited to see what they bring to the table.
Jason Karl, Creative Director of Scare Kingdom Scream Park said
“For our twelfth year of fear, we are re-developing our attractions with all-new storylines, characters and scares, plus we have the all-new Zozo’s Grind Housescare maze and Psychomanteum –Scared STIFF–a brand newversion of the ultimatescare experience for over 18’s only.
Across the park we have crazed doctors, killer clowns and sinister spirits who are ready and waiting to give guests something really scary to scream about!”
The Necropolis Line will take you on a one-way journey down the dead line. Visit paradise with a twist at The Paradise Foundation – Bliss TV and experience the UK’s ‘sickest attraction’ in a brand new way as Psychomanteum returns to seriously mess up your mental state.
After seeing numerous reviews of Psychomanteum it’s hard to see how they could socially distance in here but if they did, the ‘sickness’ would be ramped up so that’s even more frightening. Psychomanteum is an upcharge attraction (£6) at the event and it’s only for the brave.
The press release also states that characters will be roaming the park and actors will interact with you in between mazes.
Speaking of the mazes, let’s take a look at what you can expect at Scare Kingdom in 2020!
THE DEAD LINE
Take a seat aboard the Necropolis Line Railway where the long-forgotten dead desperately seek their final resting place. It’s a one-way journey to the end of the line…
Update – The Dead Line was replaced with Horrid High Tea with Scrapfaggot and Mrs Filch
THE PARADISE FOUNDATION –BLISS TV
Facing economic disaster, the devious mastermind Doctor Prometheus has resorted to shopping TV to promote his unique brand of ‘treatments’. Broadcasting live from within the Foundation, and hosted by the sardonic Servalax, those who view Channel 666 will never be quite the same person again. Are you a patron or a provider in The Paradise Foundation–Bliss TV.
MANORMORTIS –GHOST STORY
The world’s most famous ghost stories come eerily to life as Manormortispresents the ultimate ghost story. Lifted from the pages of the world’s greatest ghostwriters, a portmanteau ofthe macabre comes vividly to life in four dimensions inside Manormortis –Ghost Story.
BLITZ! –THE HUNGER
Step back in time to 1943 where a deserted chapel provides sanctuary from the bombs of world war 2. Grab a searchlight to light your path through the foggy darkness as you make your way through the twilight world of Blitz! -The Hunger.
BODY SNATCHERS –CHAMBER OF HORRORS
At the end of Knox Alley, the eminent eccentric Madame Tussaudhas installed her world-famous cabinet of curiosities inside Brimstone & Black’sdisreputable funeral parlour. But the oddities upstairs are nothing compared to those that lie in the depths of the old cellars. Pay a visit to Body Snatchers –Chamber of Horrors if you dare, but be warned –the exhibits have an eerie inclination of coming startlingly to life…
ZOZO’S GRIND HOUSE
Get your ‘freak on’ in a surreal and sinister sideshow where laughter and fear collide. Creep into a gruesome gala as you worm your way through the hallways of a run-down carnival and face the infamous killer-clown and his hoard of unholy horrors in Zozo’s Grind House.
PSYCHOMANTEUM –SCARED STIFF
‘The UK’s Sickest Attraction’ is presented in a brand-new way as Psychomanteum –Scared STIFF offers an insidious double-dare which is shocking and graphic in equal measure. *18+ only, proof of age required, entry in pairs.

Our Thoughts on Scare Kingdom 2020
Updated – 04/10/2020
What an event.
Seriously, I was absolutely blown away with the level of detail on offer within the mazes and actors who could genuinely act at scare mazes is always a rarity but these guys delivered and fully immersed me within the stories we were being told.
Manormortis is a UK horror gem, so beautifully and meticulously detailed and a joy to walk around and Body Snatchers: Chamber of Horrors also was up there with some of the best theming at the event.
Blitz: The Hunger has this unique navigation throughout the maze and it was claustrophobic and immersive in equal measure and whilst not as strong as the others is still a wonderful experience regardless.
Zozo’s Grind House added the final touches replacing The Hoodening from last year due to COVID restrictions but it set the scene for the insanity of Psychomanteum.
Psychomanteum’s 2020 incarnation named ‘Scared Stiff’ was a non-contact experience but to stand there and witness what we did inside there is a memory I won’t be forgetting anytime soon!
Expect nudity, expect madness, expect to view the twisted underbelly of this sadomasochistic world.
It certainly isn’t a maze for the easily offended.
With a bar / hot food to greet you on the way, out Scare Kingdom is THE place to be this Halloween.
One of a few events currently operating throughout the 2020 season and I can’t figure out why others haven’t decided to open.
Scare Kingdom is proving that social distancing doesn’t dampen the scares/immersion of horror mazes.
Yes, some are toned down / have had things removed but the attraction is so strong that it’s barely noticed in the normal mazes.
Only Psychomanteum’s lack of contact dampens this intense experience but for all the others, they’re still as strong as ever!
