Meanwhile, here are 11 spooky scary things to do in Northamptonshire this Halloween... muahahahaha!

Here is our spooky scary Halloween guide for Northamptonshire in 2021
. Dr Fright's Halloween Nights
We're kickstarting our spooky list with Dr Fright's Halloween in Earls Barton. Why watch horror movies when you can be in one yourself? If you're brave enough, make your way through four scare mazes - each with their own terrifying theme - experiencing jump scares from live actors and special effects. If you manage to make it out of the mazes with dry underwear, you can then unwind with a cold beverage at the Horror Bar. Tickets are on sale now with dates available to book from October 15 to October 31. Address: WHITES NURSERIES, CLAY LANE, EARLS BARTON, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE NN6 0EP Photo: Dr Fright's Halloween Nights

Saturday, October 16 - Sunday, October 31. Take part in a Spooky Family Halloween Hunt amongst the trees at Welford Christmas Tree Farm.
