You can now watch horror movies at London's Natural History Museum after dark for Halloween

EVER wanted to hang out in a museum after dark? Your chance has arrived – with a creepy twist.

If you fancy getting spooked among skeletons this Halloween, the Natural History Museum is transforming into a late-night cinema with screenings of classic horror films.

Forget Night at the Museum, it will certainly be Fright at the Museum this Halloween

In partnership with The Luna Cinema, the museum will screen four scary movies in the famous Hintze Hall.

Guests will be able to watch The Shining, The Blair Witch Project, Ghostbusters and Silence of The Lambs underneath the gigantic Hope the Blue Whale skeleton.

If the movies weren’t scary enough themselves, being in the grand venue after hours certainly sounds pretty chilling.

Tickets cost £26.50 per screening, and include complimentary popcorn and access to the Natural History Museum’s new exhibition, Life in the Dark, before the films start.
