Find out the terrifying truth as you trick-or-treat your way around the Museum of London Docklands galleries after dark, and solve a spooky crime by torchlight with the help of a mysterious character. Help us tell terrifying tales from Victorian London including the monstrous story of Dr. Jekyll, and the strange encounters at Sweeney Todd's barber shop during an interactive storytelling session.
