Halloween is always a time for any self respecting person to be on their guard, with legions of witches suddenly appearing like flying ants on that one day in the year. While the younger members of the family marvel at the spooky light from a hollowed out pumpkin and hold bright sparklers as a practice run for Guy Fawkes Night five days later, bigger folk run the gauntlet of trick or treat, and wisely keep a lid on the mother in law jokes.
One place where your nerves will be tested to the limit this year is the at the Blackpool Tower Dungeon where, I am reliably informed, a new and rather tricky character could be making his debut.Described by the web site as “stepping out of the shadows and into the murky limelight” will be none other than The Trickster. Said to be bringing a new dimension to the art of Trick or Treat, the Tower owners confidently expect the Trickster to be in occupation from the 1st of October through to the 4th of November. We are told to expect him to delight in offering surprises ranging from a terrible torture to a sweet treat as he lurks around corners to surprise, frighten and delight you. He is said to be eagerly awaiting the opportunity to practice his dark arts at the original Home of Halloween.
It may be the best part of the month before Halloween itself, but it is hoped that he will be in occupation soon, and it will get busy, mark my words. If you want to check on things contact the Dungeon on 0871 222 9928 or take a look at http://www.the-dungeons.co.uk/blackpool/en/index.htm.
