On Friday October 30th, Tiqets is hosting the Festival of Fright, which offers people multiple ways to experience Halloween against the most creepy and haunted settings:

- Win a private tour of Dracula’s Castle in Romania

- Join the FREE virtual scare-a-thon of online live experiences with Dracula's Castle, Warwick Castle, and Madame Tussauds 

- Enter to win FREE tickets to safely experience these Halloween attractions and more near you in person worldwide

Win a private tour of Dracula’s Castle

Tiqets is offering two winners four tickets each for a private tour of Dracula’s Castle in Romania the night before Halloween. 

The 14th-century castle in Bran, Romania is the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s infamous tale of Count Dracula. Set atop a misty mountain, surrounded by a treacherous looking forest and sporting an eerie atmosphere, even a far-off sighting of the castle will send shivers down the spine. In the private tour, competition winners will get to wander the castle’s candlelit corridors and experience first-hand the dark and ghostly rooms that inspired a tale about a cape-wearing prince with a taste for human blood. As if that wasn’t creepy enough, the tour will include a visit to the dungeons where the dastardly Vlad the Impaler was imprisoned… Did anyone else just get the heebie jeebies?

Join the free virtual scare-a-thon

If traveling (even just a trip down the road) is not an option, on Friday 30 October Tiqets will also offer a one-night virtual scare-a-thon as part of its Festival of Fright. This free online series of events includes a virtual tour of the Tiqets Festival of Fright headliner, Dracula’s Castle, a Monster Mess show at Warwick’s Haunted Castle, and a murder mystery with Madame Tussauds. 

Here is a small taste of what spooktacular experiences visitors are in for:

Dracula’s Castle (ROM) - Experience the foreboding corridors of this famed castle and explore practically every inch inside and out that would normally only be available to guests visiting in person.

Warwick Castle (UK) - Join the cast at Warwick Castle for Monster Mess, a live, family friendly show that follows a professor attempting a variety of fun experiments in the hopes of creating a living being. But will he succeed in the end?

Madame Tussauds (GER) - Solve a murder mystery with Madame Tussauds. Help the detectives at Madame Tussauds solve a murder mystery by assisting them with deciphering clues in this interactive virtual experience.

Visit Tiqets Festival of Fright page to sign up for any, or all, of the virtual experiences in this series of haunted events.
