Halloween is Area 51’s busiest time – because we’re the best, and screams ahead of the rest. Our Warwickshire workshop is a weird wonder-lab where dark concepts are created and skilfully executed. Years of experience and expert production mean our stores are filled with custom-made costumes and movie-quality décor. Ask for our illustrated Halloween PDF brochure for a personal glimpse behind the scenes. Write your wish list then contact us for a free quote.
The devil is in the décor. The right look creates a ghoulish environment taking your guests out of their comfort zone into the unknown and the unsettling. A scare maze can disorientate, darkness creates a malevolent mood while stone-look panelling and twisting foliage will transport you into the nightmare zone. If you’d like an entire event package Area 51’s scenery, special effects, scary mood lighting, spooky sound effects and a collection of frightening Area 51 freaks will combine to cause merry mayhem as your guests arrive.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS
Fire performer
Nothing beats a big fire finale. Area 51 are famous for our male and female fire performers and the excitement they add to any event. They can work with fire staff, hoop, fans, meteor, poi, knives, torches, wands and swords - even a flaming hula hoop. Fire breathers are also available. We are expert at choreographing these displays.
Oogie boogie
Area 51 artistes provide the evening’s entertainment and over the years we have delivered an array of witches, ghouls, devils, fauns, killer clowns, demons, King Kong, ghoulish chimps, ghostly figures, stilt walkers and fire performers. Area 51 provide the designs, décor and interactive characters to transform many venues for major events and exhibitions in the UK and abroad.
Flesh zombies
Perhaps the most gruesome costumes we’ve ever built, the Flesh Zombies feature fully sculpted, head-to-toe latex bodysuits depicting human bodies with most of the skin pulled off. The costumes show muscle and sinew with small lumps of skin and hair hanging here and there.
Chimps
Captured in the wild some years ago, these provoking primates have been trained to act human, although it doesn’t always quite work out as it did during their cultivation process! These champion chimps are often seen scurrying around venues, sniffing out anything interesting, picking fleas off people and scratching themselves in inappropriate places.
Halloween decor
Area 51s Halloween maze of spooky Victorian circus sideshows exhibiting a collection of freaks and creatures. Among the scenery was a giant clown face entrance, ticket booth and oodles of American-styled circus sideshow stalls and booths that dotted around the mansion’s grounds in a maze layout. Killer Klowns from outer space mingled with a giant troll, the headless woman and a crew of other creatures were on duty as Jonathan Ross asked Area 51 to take on board his much-publicised affection for the 1962 Ray Bradbury novel “Something Wicked This Way Comes”
Heart of England
It takes a brave soul with a big backbone and a deep reservoir of fortitude and grit to venture into the dark, haunted, cold woodlands at night for a daring date with terror. But that’s exactly what was expected of visitors to the latest ‘Spooktacular’ event held at the Heart of England conference and events centre in Warwickshire.MORE INSPIRATION
