Halloween & Horror Events by Gary Starr Creative
At Gary Starr Creative, we design and deliver immersive Halloween and horror experiences that people actually talk about long after they’ve left. From full-scale scare attractions to theatrical walk-throughs and live horror shows, everything we create is story-led, professionally run, and built to suit your audience and site.
We are not an off-the-shelf scare supplier. Every project starts with a theme, flow and atmosphere. Whether that is a family-friendly Halloween experience, a teen scare-lite event, or a full-on adult horror attraction, we shape the tone, visuals, and performance style to fit your brand and your guests.
Our team has extensive experience delivering seasonal horror events for theme parks, holiday parks, shopping centres, theatres and visitor attractions across the UK. We handle creative concept, character design, casting, costumes, props, set dressing and live performance. We can also advise on layout, guest journey, throughput and operational planning to ensure the experience runs smoothly as well as looking great.
What we can deliver
• Fully themed scare attractions and walkthrough experiences
• Live horror shows and immersive theatre
• Pop-up Halloween events and seasonal activations
• Scare lite experiences suitable for families and younger audiences
• Actor-led attractions with strong character interaction
• Bespoke concepts built around your space, audience and budget
We can work as a complete creative and delivery partner or slot into your existing event team. From supplying performers and characters through to designing and running an entire attraction, our approach is flexible and collaborative.
If you are looking to elevate your Halloween offer, increase dwell time, drive repeat visits and create something memorable rather than forgettable, we would love to talk. Every site is different, and we pride ourselves on crafting horror experiences that feel tailor-made for the place they reside.

Over the past 5 years, we have written and produced several original theatrical horror plays, performed to a more adult audience (with a suggested recommended age of 16+)
Halloween and family events are fast becoming the UK's biggest holiday attractions, and we certainly know how to put on a family-based scare event. Finding the exact balance between family scares and fun here at the Creative, we thrive on bringing to life bespoke, spooky shows and installations.
