The Lawrence Batley Theatre will play host to spooky characters and thrilling shows for its fourth annual Halloween Happening.

The Huddersfield venue is promising a frightful feast of entertainment on October 31 with live music, exhibitions, magic and performances all over the theatre, followed by a ghoulish afterparty.

A re-imagining of Faust legend The Devil Without will take place on the Main Stage, combining magic, storytelling and infrasound and taking inspiration from Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore.

You may also bump into Miss Havisham in the theatre's corridors, and learn the secrets of her broken heart, while High Priestess will tell cautionary tales from the Caribbean in Duppy Stories.

Michael Jackson fans can learn the Thriller dance in a fun workshop with LBT choreographer Pauline Mayers.

And if you're feeling brave, take a seat in the Electric Chair or let special effects makeup artist Douglas Thompson 'mutilate' you with some wickedly wonderful wounds and scars.

Take a peek inside murderous Mr Punch's Cabinet of Curiosity, filled with strange objects and their stranger backstories, from the darkest corners of the globe.

And the party will continue with live music and Big Band swing from Les Vegas and the International Playboys of Rhythm.
