THE BLACKPOOL TOWER DUNGEON PRESENTS…
HELLOWEEN 2011 – STINGY JACK

This Halloween The Blackpool Tower Dungeon presents the King of Scare . . .  Stingy Jack
22^nd – 31^st October

This October The Blackpool TowerDungeon delves into the darkest of Halloween legends as the city’s Home of Halloween presents the King of Scare: Stingy Jack.

Condemned by Old Nick himself for his nasty nature, Irish Halloween legend tells how Stingy Jack was doomed to wander the underworld in endless darkness with only a turnip lantern to light his way*.

This Halloween, The Dungeon will bring Stingy Jack’s twisted tale to life with live actors and a specially created show designed for maximum Halloween high jinx, where guests will be led deep into the dark myth of Stingy Jack’s curse.

Visitors are warned: prepare for thrills, jumps and scares as this grisly turnip headed ghoul walks prowls the Dungeon’s shadowy corridors ready to pop up and pounce on the unwary.

Dungeon guests will feel the blood freeze in their veins as they edge their way through Stingy Jack’s hell hole of a lair. With shadows, spiders and dusty cobwebs, Stingy Jack’s horrendous hovel is home to an army of staring turnip heads with twisted grins and mocking eyes. . .

For those who survive the Dungeon’s Halloween happenings there’s centuries of horrible history to discover in a host of interactive actor-led live shows and a hair-raising ride.

Presenting Lancashire’s darkest past, the Dungeon is Blackpool’s most ’orrible family attraction, suitable for children over ten years old.
