Scaring is Caring

Halloween was never a thing back in our day. Sure, you’d shake down your immediate neighbours for a fistful of Refreshers and a sherbet Dip Dab, but now you’re expected to actually go out to mark the occasion. Good job, then, that there’s some genuinely creepy stuff going on to scare the shiz out of you and yours. Exhibit A is Aston Hall’s Madame Manium’s Maledictorian. Touted as one of Britain’s most haunted buildings, the stunning, seventeenth century mansion will be crammed-full of creepy curios, the opportunity for jump scares galore and no doubt, the odd cotton cobweb. Just think of it as an up-market Ghost Train. All aboard. Happening on October 25 and 26 from 5pm until 9pm, tickets are £12 with entry every 30 minutes.
