An abandoned theme park has been turned into a scare city in time for Halloween.

The former Camelot site near Chorley, Lancashire, has been transformed by events firm One Events into a "horror experience" filled with ghouls and ghosts.

One Events' Paul Butterworth said people who knew the park had come back for the experience, which includes lots of "jump scares".
