In the third and final part of our report into how theme parks are gearing up for Halloween, we firstly travel to England and the village of Charnock Richard.
The once Camelot Theme Park has been given a spooky twist with the Camelot Rises experience entering its second season.
Guests will be able to walk through the grounds of the once bustling theme park along a mile-long trek which is filled with live actors using special FX such as flame throwers, billowing smoke and pyro techniques.
It is the worlds’ longest outdoor walk-through extravaganza of its kind with Camelot Rises aiming of build upon its successful first season. Back then, its grounds were transformed and guests travelling by car through spooky scenarios before parking up to watch a film on a big screen with live actors scaring unexpectant guests.
Park ‘N Party, who run the horror-themed event, set the horror scene: “Want to be scared out of your mind? Scare City is back – bigger, better, and bloodier than ever.
“Confront the fear of the unknown, as a mile-long long trail leads victims through countless zones of pure, unadulterated terror. For the first time ever, this really is a city full of scares.”
The macabre Camelot Rises is awakened again.
Over in Gardaland, Italy, the twentieth edition of Gardaland Magic Halloween has been inaugurated.
As per Gardaland, the Halloween weekends began with Scary Fridays (14, 21, 28 October and 4 November) with opening hours from 5pm to 10pm.
Gardaland promise ‘entertainment in abundance for a chill-thrill experience!’
The park unveiled a host of new Halloween attractions – ‘Cursed Forest’, in the West Area, is to be ‘taken over by the most iconic monsters and creatures from famous films.’
Meanwhile ‘Hawaii Area’, will be where zombies, vampires and creatures of all types wander about.

And to bring Scary Fridays to a fun close, a DJ ‘with monster skills and thrilling sounds’ performs every week in a Horror DJ Set in Piazza Jumanji, from 8pm to Park closing time so that guests can enjoy the dark mysterious atmosphere enveloping these super-fun evenings.
