"You’ll leave screaming in terror, and crying with laughter."

★★★★  Culture Whisper

Step into the beautifully haunting world of Goosebumps Alive, a chilling modern update of the 90’s cult horror series. Equal parts terrifying and riotous, the hottest ticket in town puts you in the centre of chilling macabre tales.

London’s newest immersive experience is about to crawl out from beneath your feet...

Given a terrifying makeover from the fiendish minds behind Accomplice (Director), Alice’s Adventures Underground (Designer), and The Tiger Lillies (Music), find out what happens when your childhood fears become your adult nightmares.

Journey through the dark, abandoned vaults under Waterloo and walk the knife’s edge of fright and fun in this spine-tingling promenade show, brilliantly reimagined from the classic tales of R. L. Stine. The only way out is through 19 rooms populated by the denizens of your darkest dreams. Will you meet a killer scarecrow, face the haunted mask, escape from a deranged scientist, or be buried alive—or will you find the real horror lurking deep inside your head?

Go with friends, go with colleagues, or brave the adventure alone, but leave the kids at home—this is the Goosebumps of grown up fears.

Goosebumps Alive is an immersive, promenade theatre production that takes you through the cavernous Vaults beneath Waterloo station.  This production is a world premiere and is exclusive to London, so you will never have a chance to see it again!

ARE THERE SEATS?

No. You will be moving around and discovering the story.

IS IT SCARY?

It wouldn’t be Goosebumps without a little bit of fear. The show is fun, but does involve some jumps and surprises, as well as moving through dark and strange spaces. There will be moments of claustrophobia. And we do not recommend attending if you have a heart condition or are heavily pregnant. If any of this effects you, please make the Front of House staff aware on arrival who will be able to pre-negotiate the show to avoid extreme moments.
