The London Dungeon has announced a new Halloween show for 2026: Curse of the Mummy, running from Saturday 17 October to Sunday 1 November.
Latest Update
The London Dungeon has confirmed Curse of the Mummy as its new Halloween show for 2026. The limited seasonal run covers the second half of October and continues through Sunday 1 November, giving Halloween visitors a new story to experience inside the attraction.
Overview
Described in the press release as part of the London Dungeon’s “Home of Halloween” season, Curse of the Mummy mixes the attraction’s dark historical storytelling with a new supernatural twist. The story is inspired by the so-called “Unlucky Mummy” and takes guests back to London in 1889.
What is Curse of the Mummy?
Guests are transported to the delivery bay of the London Museum in 1889, where an infamous mummy board has just arrived. According to the London Dungeon’s press information, it has not arrived alone: something far darker has come with it.
The setup gives the Halloween show a historical starting point rather than treating it as a completely separate haunted-house attraction. It sits within the wider London Dungeon experience, using the venue’s familiar combination of live performance, atmosphere and dark storytelling.
What to Expect
The confirmed story places visitors inside a late-Victorian museum-delivery setting, with the arrival of the mummy board acting as the trigger for the darker events that follow. The supplied press images show performers in low-lit, theatrical scenes with firelight, shadows, museum-style props and a deliberately ominous atmosphere.
The London Dungeon now confirms that Curse of the Mummy is included with standard admission during the Halloween run. Entry is still booked by timed slot, so pre-booking online is recommended, especially for busy October dates.

Who Might Enjoy It?
This looks aimed at visitors who already enjoy the London Dungeon’s mix of theatrical scares, grim history and immersive storytelling, especially anyone planning a London Halloween day out. No specific age guidance for Curse of the Mummy has been supplied yet, so readers should check the London Dungeon’s current visitor guidance before booking for younger guests.
Why See It?
The appeal is the limited seasonal story. Rather than simply visiting the London Dungeon at Halloween, guests have a specific 2026 storyline built around the “Unlucky Mummy” and a Victorian museum setting, available for just over two weeks.

Curse of the Mummy is included with London Dungeon admission from 17 October to 1 November 2026. The attraction recommends booking online in advance to secure a timed entry slot. For the wider ticket options and current deals, see our London Dungeon Tickets & Deals 2026 guide.
