The partnership aims to develop previous Fright Night Halloween events by featuring immersive, live action mazes among the theme park, themed around iconic horror films.

The new mazes will be based on You’re NextMy Bloody Valentine 3DThe Blair Witch ProjectThe Cabin in the Woods and Saw Alive.

Jason Wills, Thorpe Park marketing director, said: "We are hugely excited about this partnership. Fright Nights promises to be horrifically immersive, yet entertaining.

"A team of specially-trained scare actors is being recruited to deliver what we believe will be the UK's premier Halloween event – without the need to go to Florida."

Fright Nights events will run from 5 October to 3 November and include corporate offerings.

Guy Avshalom, Lionsgate UK chief executive, said: "The mix of the Park's world-class rollercoasters and our acclaimed horror films will be a sure-fire win with thrill seekers and horror fans alike."
