Tales from the Chamber

The home of fame will become the home of the infamous this Halloween as some of history’s most notorious murders are brought back to life at Madame Tussauds London in a brand-new theatrical pop-up, Tales from The Chamber.

Set in the same location as the original Chamber of Horrors, the actor-led experience will transport guests into four terrifying true murder stories which were once featured in the iconic attraction. Not for the feint-hearted or squeamish, Tales from the Chamber will run from Saturday 19th October through to Sunday 3rd November and is recommended for those aged 15 and over.

Amid the action (and the gore), brave visitors will also encounter genuine artefacts and original possessions of the monsters behind some of history’s most chilling murders. With a strictly limited two-week run, those brave enough to enter will have an exclusive opportunity to come face-to-face with morbid historical curiosities. Marie Tussaud and her family had collected these frightful relics since the 1800s; from evil poisoner Dr Crippen’s spectacles to the original Victorian perambulator used by Mary Eleanor Pearcey to transport the corpses of her lover’s wife and her young child.

Steve Davies, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: ‘For two weeks only we’re going back to our more gruesome roots and re-opening our Chamber of Horrors archive. This pop-up is for serious Halloween thrill-seekers, looking for more than just a spooky tale. We’re calling on those who want to know what it feels like to stand amongst the actual items from some of history’s most chilling murders. Can you hold your nerve as you relive their stories, or do you think these pieces could still carry a connection to their original owners? Be prepared for a thoroughly creepy and unsettling experience.’
