Pick your flavour of horrible
Same length, same price, same amount of mess. The difference is what they end up holding.
Halloween Slime
Lab coats and goggles, then slime with plastic spiders, bugs, eyeballs and glitter worked through it. Gooey, cold, faintly revolting, extremely popular.
There are trick or treat games with prizes in the middle, and a popcorn station running through.
Everyone takes a tub home.
Halloween Wizard School
The dark-arts term. Frothing, exploding potions with spooky things mixed in, and spells cast at the shelf to see off whatever has got loose in the room.
Some spooky stories, told badly on purpose, and the same popcorn feast.
Everyone takes a bottled Halloween potion home.
How scary is it, really?
Not very. That is deliberate.
We pitch it at silly rather than frightening, because a room of four to eleven year olds always contains at least one child who is braver in the car than in the hall. Nobody jumps out. There is no strobe, no loud bang, no darkness you cannot see out of.
The horrible things are all plastic and all funny. The stories have a daft ending. If a child does get wobbly, one of us peels off and sits with them until they are ready to come back, which usually takes about ninety seconds.
If you would rather we dialled it up for an older group, say so when you book. We can go quite a lot darker for nine to elevens.
October questions
When do October dates open?
We open the diary in early September and the half-term slots go quickly. The weekend closest to the 31st is the first to fill, every year.
Can we do a Halloween party outside October?
We would rather not. The whole thing depends on props and set dressing that live in a box for eleven months, and it lands better in the right season. If you have a good reason, ring us.
Do the children need to come in costume?
They do not have to, and we bring cloaks and hats regardless. Most turn up dressed anyway, which is half the fun. Warn them that whatever they wear is going to get slime on it.
What is in the popcorn station?
Popcorn and a handful of toppings, plus a few sweets. Tell us about allergies when you book and we will swap things out or leave the food to you entirely.
Got a date in mind?
Tell us the date, the ages and roughly how many, and we will come back to you the same day with what we can do.
