London Dungeon is turning 50 this year and to celebrate it will be hosting a brand-new experience for Halloween – and it's scarier than ever.

London Dungeon has been terrifying guests for half a century and this year, to mark its 50th birthday since first opening in 1974, it will be launching a new experience for Halloween.

During this ghoulish event, the room will be plunged into darkness, to be filled with mysterious levitations and unidentified screams of terror, leaving guests to face the malevolent spirits of the past.
