The autumn season is upon us, the nights are drawing in, the leaves are set to fall from the trees, ghosts and demons are set to reclaim the night...and horror is set to return.

After its six week break, the award winning The Haunting of Blaine Manor enters the second half of its 2019 tour, taking in some of the most beautiful and haunted theatres in the North of England.  The most talked about haunter since The Woman in Black has two dates in September, and four in October to round out the tour.  Check the stunning reviews.

REVIEWS:  www.talesfromparadiseheights.com/reviews.html

September finds us in two wonderfully vintage venues, The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool and The Hippodrome in Todmorden are the next stops on the tour.  Both venues are over 100 years old and both are beautiful theatres perfect for a ghost story told on stage.  Take your seats and feel the presence of all those that have taken that seat before you down the decades, feel their presence join you as they look upon our tale through your eyes...perhaps you'll get to see a little more than the production?  Horror is a Place.   

If the kids are 12 or above? Take them along.  Looking for a good staff night out? This is it.  So come, travel back in time to 1953 and enjoy this firecracker of a ghostly thriller, these two venues more than suit the production, but book your tickets fast, both venues are filling up now.


THE EPSTEIN THEATRE, Liverpool, Friday 6th September

This gorgeous venue was built in 1911 and has a spectacularly haunted past.  Going through a number of name changes and more than a few hauntings before being named after The Beatles famous manager.  Much more on the hauntings within this building at the link:

On the main Halifax Road in the east of Calderdale, the almost 500 seater Hippodrome was built in 1908.  Before long silent films were being shown before the main theatre performance.  For 111 years The Hippodrome has been an integral part of the community and all in the hands of diligent volunteers for over half its lifetime.  There is more on this beautiful theatre's history at this link.

If you live in or anywhere near the Calderdale Valley then this is the perfect venue to catch the show in, dripping in atmosphere.

This show is really kicking up a storm, packing out houses, getting fabulous reviews and really thrilling audiences.  A tribute to the Hammer Horror films of the 50s and 60s, the ghost stories of M R James, with flavours of Edgar Allen Poe and H P Lovecraft yet it has a voice all its own.  The horror is real and it's a ride with chills, thrills, a few laughs, intrigue and the kind of twists that Alfred Hitchcock and M Night Shymalan would kill for.   Just the one night in each venue so don't regret it when your friends tell you what a show it was, the reviews tell their story...book your tickets now!
