This event has already passed
Embrace your worst fears at the Science Museum as they investigate some of the spookiest science and most terrifying tech. There'll be displays about phobias, nature's real-life monsters, and some handy advice about surviving a zombie apocalypse.
The Halloween-themed event will carry on long after the museum usually closes, with the cafes selling scary snacks, drinks and cocktails, and DJs spinning some petrifying party tunes.
Fancy dress is definitely encouraged, and prizes will be awarded for the best outfits.
Watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and The Fly
The IMAX cinema will be showing Tim Burton's new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie starring Michael Keaton, with an introduction by the author of The Science of Weird S**t, Chris French.
Or how about David Cronenberg's classic horror movie The Fly, about a scientist who begins transforming into a giant insect after one of his experiments goes wrong?
Film critic Anna Bogutskaya will also be in attendance to give a talk about her new book Feeding The Monster, which explores our love of thrills, shock and horror.
Silent Disco in the Exploring Space gallery
Grab yourself a pair of wireless headphones and hit the dance floor in the Exploring Space gallery. If you don't like the pop, rock or party tunes that are playing then you can simply choose some new music by flicking through the channels on your headset. But here's the twist: everybody will end up dancing to different songs!
Play some retro computer games
Power Up is a retro gamer's paradise containing some of most famous games and consoles from the last half-century. Fancy an ancient game of Pong? Or the iconic Pacman? How about Minecraft or Mario Kart? You can even test out a virtual reality headset!
Whether you're a serious gamer or just want to pummel your friends in a multi-player showdown, there’s bound to be something for everyone here.
