Features

• Live actor shows: Get pulled into twisted stories by plague doctors, witch hunters, and other creepy characters like Burke & Hare and Geillis Duncan. It’s spooky, ridiculous, and a little bit gross.

• Immersive sets: Wander through atmospheric scenes with moody lighting, haunting sounds, and interactive moments that make you part of the madness.

• Drop-dead ride: Feel the adrenaline rush as you plummet on the Drop Dead ride, a spine-chilling finale simulating a 30-meter fall at Edinburgh Dungeon’s Grassmarket gallows.

• Creepy fun for ages 8 and up: Scary enough to thrill, silly enough to laugh at. It’s a weirdly fun time for kids, teens, and grown-ups who enjoy the odd shiver.
