Alton Towers Scarefest 17th October – 1st November 2009
• Trick or Treat Doors – Meet Millicent, Molly and Meg at their spell-binding three door cottage. These peculiar witches return each Halloween to shower the children of Alton with tricks….and treats of course!
• Scarefest Characters – Our resident spooky friends Patch, Franklin, Skelvin and Phil will be roaming the Resort. Pose for photographs with your favourite character - the perfect Scarefest sourvenir!
• Duel: Live! – Hidden in Gloomy Wood stands an eerie manor house. Once home to a wealthy Victorian family, the creepy residence is now inhabited by a host of extra spooky spirits – dare you step inside?
• Late opening – Theme Park fun is extended to 9pm every night!
Pumpkin ratings will be applied to each Halloween attraction at the Resort to highlight their spook factor, making it easy for parents to easily choose the attractions most suited to their child’s age.
Alton Towers Resort Hotels

The fun continues into the evening over at the two Resort Hotels, with spooks and scares to suit all ages. The Alton Towers Hotel becomes inhabited by witches this Halloween, so join in the hocus-pocus and be on the look out for spells and potions….and of course hats and cats! Check into the specially themed Trick or Treat rooms* and challenge the family to discover the hidden prizes…or forfeits! With dressing up sets for the children and free spooky movies for the duration of your stay, these rooms are extremely popular so book early to avoid disappointment on 0871 222 6672.
Splash Landings Hotel will become Patch’s Pumpkin Palace! Help Patch on his mission to ensure the entire Resort is supplied with pumpkins big and small!
With entertainment throughout the evening, youngsters can join Pirate Bill on his ghost hunt and dance along to the Witches Show.
• Ghost Hunt – Pirate Bill needs your help in finding those hidden ghosts and ghouls
• Witches Show – sing and dance along to the songs dedicated to the season in the atrium of the Alton Towers Hotel
Plus, for older children and parents with nerves of steel, one indoor and two outdoor scare attractions** will be available for both Theme Park guests and Hotel residents. Terror of the Towers: What Lies Within*** is based within the Gothic Towers upon the Theme Park and challenges victims to brave the evil forces lurking within, whilst The Boiler House** and the Field of 1000 Screams** located alongside the Hotels guarantee real terror, so enter at your own risk…
