Welcome to Coaster Kingdom's guide to Halloween

We unearth the best that European theme parks have to offer during October with dates and links to the darkest, most gruesome detail. Although information is given in the best possible interests, we cannot be held responsible for any mistakes or changes to parks' schedules.

Alton Towers Halloween at the Alton Towers Hotels 13th-29th October No proper Halloween shindig at Alton Towers (quelle surprise) but those staying in the resort are welcome to join in a 'ghost hunt' in the hotels' grounds, a fancy dress competition and from the 17th there will be a haunted maze, although it's unlikely to be of the calibre of Terror in the Towers.
Chessington Halloween 6th-31th October Feel the farce at Chessington as Halloween is invaded by Star Wars characters, including light sabre battles, Jedi Training Academy and many other non-Halloween extras. Open until 8pm from 21th October.
Disneyland
Paris
Halloooween 7th October - 5th November Chessington aren't the only park to sell out as Stitch is now your compare for Disneyland Resort Paris' Halloween. As usual, the event includes the Disney Villains parade, an elaborately decorated park and face painting for the kids.
Europa Park Spooky Halloween Weeks October 1st - 5th November One of the best in Europe, it has to be said, offering 'Horror Catacombs', shows for children, a 4D show, daily parade, face painting and hundreds of thousands of pumpkins. From 28th October there is a special night-time show, parade and fireworks, and on the 31st there is a special Halloween party with exclusive extended opening of the park for those attending the party.
Heide Park 'Murderous Fun at Halloween' October 27th Heide Park's website is possibly the worst in the world, and gives no information about Halloween other than the fact it is on October the 27th. So book that flight now!
Holiday Park Shocktober October 1st - November 5th The usual fancy dress competitions and pumpkin carving form the backbone to this   
Legoland Germany Halloween at Legoland 14th-31st October Once again, it appears Legoland Germany is the only European Legoland to acknowledge Halloween with a party on the 31st, and Halloween face painting and workshops from 14th-31st.
Movie Park Germany Halloween Horror Fest 1st-31st October This looks pretty good; three horror mazes (House of Horror, Dr. LeMorte's Laboratorium and City of the Damned), Terror Train, Battle of the Lost show as well as Don't Trust 'til Dawn, a new show for 2006. Late opening at weekends and on the 31st.
Parque Warner Halloween 2006 7th October - 5th November Halloween parade, Halloween restaurant, Halloween Factory for the kids, what looks like a haunted walkthrough through the Batman queueline (Arkham Asylum) and Halloween shows.
Port Aventura Halloween '06 30th September - 12th November (park closed on 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 10th November) Usual attraction overlays (such as haunted queueline on El Diablo) as well as 'Horror in Penitence where the zombie sheriff invites you into his passage of terror. I'm told it is a lot better than their website makes it sound. They also have their famous 'Hotel Burn' where occupants will be kept up into the early hours in Europe's only 'haunted hotel' 
Thorpe Park Fright Nights 13th October - 31st October This is shaping up to be quite some event - Circus of Horrors will be touring the park and there are three mazes, one of which is new for this year.
Walibi Belgium and Walibi World Halloween 13th October - 29th October The Halloween website will be online soon apparently.
