Step behind bars this Halloween for cinematic scares, family fun and a Trick or Treat Trail

Your Halloween Sentence is to Survive

This Halloween, the lights go down at Peterhead Prison and the horror begins. From 30th October to 1st November, step inside Scotland’s Toughest Jail for Reel of Terror, a 40-minute immersive horror experience where the prison becomes the setting for a series of cinematic nightmares.

With live performers from Red Brick Theatre Group, theatrical effects and a different kind of fear waiting around every corner, you’ll journey through the prison’s cells, corridors and hidden spaces as psychological suspense, supernatural encounters and slasher-inspired scares come to life.

Reel of Terror is designed for horror fans and thrill-seekers aged 16+ and runs from 6.30pm, with last entry at 10.15pm. There’s no screen between you and the horror this Halloween, just the prison walls.

Enter the Reel of Terror

Forget watching horror unfold on screen. At Peterhead Prison, you’ll find yourself inside it.

Reel of Terror transforms the historic prison into a series of immersive cinematic horror environments, with live performers, atmospheric lighting, sound, practical effects and plenty of unexpected scares. As you move deeper into the prison, each area brings a different atmosphere and a new reason to keep looking over your shoulder.

With jump scares, loud sounds, smoke and fog effects, strobe lighting and periods of darkness, this is one Halloween experience that comes with a warning.
