Scarefest at Alton Towers is back with even more attractions than last year.
The theme park's annual haunted celebration draws in visitors from all over the country to be spooked and terrified out of their senses.
This year introduces 'the governess' who is said to haunt the park's iconic manor house, reports Derbyshire Live .
She will terrify guests at its new attraction - The Attic: Terror of the Towers - which is one of the two new additions to the Scarefest programme.
The 2019 Scarefest line-up will also see the introduction of Darkest Depths, a brand new scare maze for families and thrill-seekers alike.
Guests can board the infamous ghost ship ‘The Mutiny’ and journey into the darkest depths to earn your piece of eight.
The treacherous Sirens will try to lure you into the ocean as you dodge the swords of the mutinous ghost pirates and come face to face with the sea’s meanest legend of all … the Kraken!
The Alton Towers Dungeon will also be getting some additional spooks and scares as guests venture through the attraction on a journey through Staffordshire’s darkest history, including the introduction of live action ‘Plague Street’ and some bonus frights to get pulses racing.
The Altonville Mine Tours, takes people into a recently reopened mine, which holds a "dark secret".
