Blackpool Tower Dungeon Halloween Special
Just the word dungeon has always been a bit creepy to me and The Blackpool Tower Dungeon was no exception. I love visiting Blackpool but I have never entertained going into the dungeons I’m not for being scared or creeped out or anything, however I wasn’t ever 100% sure exactly what did happen in the dungeons!
When we were asked if we would like to visit for their Halloween special this half term I jumped at the chance, Olivia wasn’t really too sure so I decided to take my niece for added support incase she got a bit scared. I mean, it’s for children from the age of 3, but recommended for kids over 8 and adults alike. It couldn’t be that scary could it????
This Halloween Blackpool Tower Dungeon plays host to the Home of Halloween family experience this October, complete with over 800 pumpkins, a host of characters, electrifying special effects and stories.
Join the cast of horribly hilarious characters as you embark on a journey of mischief and mayhem. Meet the Witch Finder General and mysterious witches before being accused of a terrible ‘witchy’ crime, plus take a ride on our ‘for those who dare’ drop ride for a real thrill.
Could it be that scary? Yes. it was.
The tour of the dungeons consists of being shown introduced to some of the most horrible tales from the country’s past in 10 actor led shows with all the props and atmosphere taking you right into the spirit of it. Recounting their tales in the scariest way possible with bits of humour injected too. If you are lucky you too will be called upon to experience the stories first hand, do you fancy losing your tongue to the torturer? Nah me neither. The same went for Olivia, in fact, she was so horrified, and possibly traumatised for life, that it was here we had to leave the show.
True to it’s word, it was pretty grisly and utterly terrifying and proved far too much for Olivia and we had to excuse ourselves from the rest of the tour (me I was loving it, I could see the humour as did all other kids big and small visiting too, but not lil miss drama queen) I honestly did not think she would react that way, but then again I didn’t have any idea of what to expect so lesson learnt, less grisly, more Disney! I have to mention all the actors and staff were really great with her and as bad as I felt were assured we weren’t the first, and definitely won’t be the last I can attest to that.
The Halloween special runs to 1st November so why not take your little terrors to the dungeons for a trip they will never forget!
Head over to Blackpool Tower Dungeon to plan your visit. I recommend booking in advance as Blackpool was ridiculously busy on Monday for half term week and the queues for the tower especially were super long. If you pre book online you can also gain some great discounts and save yourself a few pennies in the process.
Tickets from £10.50 for children and £13.50 for adults
If you fancy a more ‘grown up’ experience head to the dungeons on 31st October 2015 to for a unique ‘Where’s Jack’ night. Strictly over 18’s only though!
Tickets £19.95 per person.

Aww thats amazing! I went to York to similar thing! It was soo scary ad fun! Would love to repeat that!
I’m not sure any of mine would be brave enough for this, when he was seven my son had to get carried through parts of the Doctor Who experience because he was so scared!
My daughter is the same – she gets scared really easily! Bless her!
I didn’t realise how scared she would get! Bad mummy x
Ahhh this is my kind of perfect day out!
Would love to visit this on, but haven’t even listed the London one yet.
If you like this kind of thing it is well worth a visit
Sounds like a great day out for the big ones, might have to leave the little ones at home with the grandparents, will definitely think about visiting next Halloween.
Definitely a good idea to leave the littles at home I think I will next time!
Oh I loved London Dungeons when I was a kid, I think I’ve been 10+ times!!
I would to visit the London one, think I will have to go without olivia though!
This looks great! We have been to the York Dungeon and that was awesome. I am not sure how old Boo would have to before I would take her though!
It was really gooo I’m gutted I didn’t finish the whole show, will have to go back without olivia sometime
Oh my goodness! I always forget about this amazing place.
The funny thing is I have lived in London all my life (nearly 30 years) and have never been to the one in London. Only went to Madame Tussades a few weeks ago for the first time too on a press trip.
I NEED to get my butt into gear.
Thanks so much for sharing this hun

I love Madame tussauds we visited after the dungeons. They are well worth a visit if you get the chance
I hope your daughter isn’t too traumatised by the experience. If I lived closer to Blackpool I would love to go to the Halloween show.
She was fine right after when we went to see Olly Murs in Madame Tussauds!
I have only been to London Dungeons ( three times) but I love it and want to go back again as last time I went I was 15 or 16!
I didn’t think i would like it but it was so much fun
I’ve never been to the London version of this but I really must one day – just for the experience! I hate the smell of places like these and even though I’m not a particularly jumpy person, these places tend to weird me out :/
It was a bit creepy right down to not be able to see in front of you that part wasn’t fun! But I’m glad I went, I just wish it didn’t end so suddenly
This looks so spooky. I am not sure I am brave enough though.
It’s not for the faint hearted that’s for sure!
Oh I’m way to old now to go somewhere like this, I’d have a heart attack! I don’t even like kids ghost trains! Kaz x
haha I though the same too but it was fun, there is humour in the stories, even though it was really creepy!
I would LOVE to go here. I’ve been to lots of the dungeons in the past so it would be great to visit this one xxx
I have to admit Blackpool is one place I have never visited – I would definitely love to pop into the dungeons though if I did! x
It is a great place to visit if you ever get the chance and the dungeons are great, just make sure you don’t take someone who is easily scared like I did!
I’ve never visited Blackpool before, but if I did I would definitely visit the Tower. I bet it’s especially spooky at Halloween!
It really is I bet the adult special will be terrifying!
It sounds like a spooky but exciting experience, I wish I could go 🙂
It was quite spooky, not for the faint hearted that’s for sure!
Aw it is a shame Olivia didn’t like it, I remember finding it quite scary myself x
Oh, what a shame Olivia didn’t like it. Even Disney can traumatise though. When my niece was four I took her on The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Paris. She hated it and screamed the whole time. She even had a screaming nightmare that night. She’s 10 now and still remembers how scared she was. Bad Auntie award to me.
Oh dear! We didn’t do that ride when we went to Disney Olivia was too young for it then. I made up for it by taking her to see Olly Murs in Madame Tussauds afterwards so I think all is forgiven now!
I don’t think I would be brave enough to give this a try but this is the sort of thing my fella loves….
I didn’t think I would like it but I did! Not sure I’m up for the halloween night show though bit too much for me
