The Surrey theme park is already home to some of the most terrifying rides in the country, with SAW, Hyperia and Swarm all within its walls, but every October the scares are off the scale.

Scare Mazes, spooky shows and free-roam Scare Zones all make up this year's Halloween event, including the all-new maze Tenement, and The Conjuring 4D Experience.

The park is promising a "terrifying new evolution" and tickets are now on sale. So here's how you can get yourself a spot.

Fright Night is an annual event held at Thorpe Park that transports visitors to all things spooky.

At this year’s event, park-goers can try out several Scare Zones; free-flow zones which promise special effects and live actors to create a truly immersive atmosphere, and Scare Mazes: four indoor mazes with live actors.

As it's Fright Night's 25th anniversary, the park is hitting us with two new attractions: Tenement, a new scare maze that sees you acting as emergency electricians in an abandoned (or is it?) apartment block, and The Conjuring 4D Experience, based on the terrifying horror franchise featuring Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Plus, there's Hyperia, SAW and all the other spooky rides to try after sundown.
