And you're in luck, because this year the Old Vic Tunnels are coming back from the dead for three zombie-themed nights of Halloween debauchery from 25th - 27th October.

The Old Vic Tunnels underneath Waterloo Station are London's oldest morgue - used by cemetery operators in the 1850s to store corpses following the closure of some of London's graveyards. The tunnels were used to hold the displaced bodies ahead of their transportation to out-of-town burial sites.

This Halloween, the labyrinth of Victorian tunnels and railway vaults will be taken over by the living dead, as hundreds of zombies descend on the spooky setting for the ultimate Zombie Horror Camp.

The sprawling event will include a zombie disco featuring DJ sets from The Horrors, The Libertines' Gary Powell, Guilty Pleasures, and more.

Away from the dancefloor, partygoers can indulge in a voodoo dealmaking workshop, a zombie killer run challenge, and even a grotesque strip club - if you like that sort of thing.

DJ line-ups are as follows:

Thursday 25th October
Guilty Pleasures DJs, White Mink DJs and Time Out All Stars
 
Friday 26th October
Izzy Lawrence (Apocalipstick, MTV), Dee Plume (Robots in Disguise) and Feeling Gloomy DJs and Time Out All Stars
 
Saturday 27th October
The Horrors DJ Set, Gary Powell (Libertines) Adam Ficek (BabyShambles) and Time Out AllStars

Tickets are £25, available from www.oldvictunnels.com
