The Italian theme park is gearing up for Halloween for the twenty-first edition of Gardaland Magic Halloween.

The scare fest is being divided into two experiences: one more scary for real chills and the other softer and more colourful.

A variety of shows, music and live performances will take place at Gardaland. Scary zones promise ‘infested with zombies, monsters and scary creatures that have the task of testing guests’ courage, in a daring adventure in perfect Gardaland Magic Halloween style,’ according to the park.

During Gardaland Magic Halloween, twenty thousand kilograms of pumpkins, tombstones, cobwebs, and monstrous creatures are adorning the park’s avenues, along with many themed novelties: from the make-up station to look like your favourite monster, to the traveling monster band and “Trick or Treat, la caccia all’ultimo dolcetto” (Trick or Treat, the hunt for the last treat). 

All participants, buying their own personal pumpkin, will have to fulfill a mission: to find the stands dedicated to the initiative in the Park and collect around 450 g of colourful, delicious sweets by the end of the day.

A new themed show is also scheduled at Gardaland Theatre: Midnight, L’ora del Duca (Midnight, The Duke’s Hour), which is a dark show presented by acrobats and performers from the Circus of Horrors, accompanied by an evocative soundtrack, ad hoc set, and the inclusion of special effects and magical illusions. The audience is invited to visit the dark dungeons of the mysterious castle, where bizarre characters roam and monstrous creatures are kept prisoner. 

And come Halloween night, Gardaland is serving up a ghoulishly good Halloween Party, as Jumanji Square will be transformed into a dance area open until late at night, complete with scary guests.
