Overview

Last time you went to Sydney's Luna Park, you might've screamed to the high heavens while riding a rollercoaster or let out a gasp on the sky-high ferris wheel. Well, this time you'll be screaming for an entirely different reason. Over five fright-filled nights, Luna Park will host the ultimate hair-raising Halloween extravaganza with Halloscream returning for the sixth year. And, as always, it's sure to be a screaming success.

During Halloscream 6: The Rise of the Cursed Carnival, the park will transform into a spooky scare-fair with horror-themed mazes, haunted houses and blood-curdling rides. There's a Goosebumps-themed slime slide for children of the 90s that are desperate to live out their childhood horror fantasies. You'll also find the frightening Ward 13 maze — beware of the insane nurse on a killing spree — and a terrifying Toyshop of Terrors maze where you'll meet a boy who was put back together using mechanical toy parts after a serious injury — we're imagining part-Edward Scissorhands, part-Pinocchio.

Should you need to calm your nerves with a bite to eat, there'll be a throng of Halloween-themed eateries slinging all kinds of scary fare like a 'meatball mummy with spaghetti' and 'sundaes of the dead'. Costumes aren't required but we recommend getting into the spooky spirit with your best Halloween number — even mouse ears count (duh). But if you forget, head to Boris the Decayed and his team of dead makeup artists to get a makeover by a corpse — it'll only set you back $10. There's a best dressed competition, with the winner receiving a trip for two to the 2019 Melbourne Supanova Comic Con — just share a pic on Instagram with #Halloscream.

Halloscream 6: The Rise of the Cursed Carnival kicks off on Friday, October 26 from 7pm till late. The carnival will run until Saturday, November 3. Tickets start at $59.95 per person and include entry, unlimited rides and access to all Halloscream attractions. Grab some friends and head along for a screaming good time.
