Be afraid, be very afraid!

Margate’s Dreamland mutates into Screamland after dark this weekend for a scare festival that’s not for the faint-hearted.

The multi award-winning festival, which opens to the public on Friday, October 14, and runs until Saturday, October 29, has five fully immersive and interactive scare mazes.

The attraction will feature Festino’s Forgotten Funhouse, an old-style travelling freak show, The Final Cut Presents – They Came from Outer Space, a sci-fi fear fest and the all-new Paradise Foundation, a sinister “wellness” centre, plus Dead and Breakfast II – Murder Hotel and The Bloody Mirror.

The detailed, real-world environments also play on the different elements of Dreamland’s history and there will be more sideshows and characters set to give the hardest of scare enthusiasts the fright of their life.

Tickets cost from £24.95. For details visit dreamland.co.uk/screamland/
