A drive-in cinema that will screen some of the most terrifying films ever made will open its gates this Halloween.
The Blackpool Pleasure Beach Scream Screen will run in the nights leading up to and including October 31 with six carefully curated horror movies scheduled for the event.
Brave movie-goers are invited to the theme park under the cloak of darkness to experience petrifying cinematic masterpieces such as the controversial The Exorcist in the ominous open air.
A giant outdoor cinema screen will be erected especially for the event, and in traditional drive-in movie style, guests will need park up and tune their car radios to experience the sound.
The chosen films are all top-rated from the genre - both modern and classic - with one dedicated screening for younger participants.
There's also going to be traditional popcorn and hotdog stands at the ready for the event.
Tickets for the hotly anticipated event are on sale now - but cinema-goers are advised to book quickly as the 2018 event was a sell-out.
