What You'll Get
The only thing scarier than encountering a mask-wearing figure of Benjamin Franklin in a darkened museum is encountering the real Benjamin Franklin, whose electric personality could never compensate for a creepy waxen complexion. Wax horrific with today's Groupon: for $11, you get a ticket to the After Dark Halloween event at Madame Tussauds, the world-renowned interactive wax-figure museum (an $18 value). Redeem this Groupon during the event's hours of operation: Friday through Sunday, October 22–24 and 29–31, from 9 p.m. to midnight.
For more than 200 years, Madame Tussaud and her museums have delighted the masses with impressively detailed and meticulously maintained wax renditions of celebrities, musicians, political figures, and sports stars. For the special Halloween event, the lifelike celebrity statues will don their creepiest countenances and most morose masks in order to thrill the living daylights out of scare-seeking patrons willing to brave the terrors of the mannequin menagerie. Further blurring the line between the living and the dead is the addition of live actors who seamlessly blend in with the paraffin personages, waiting for just the right opportunity to prey upon unsuspecting visitors.
Being in the company of famous people can often make one feel famous as well. The addition of strobe lights throughout the attraction will make you want to dance past a mutant masked Madonna, while the subsequent screams of terror will warn you that Angelina Jolie has made her red-carpet arrival. The attraction is considered appropriate for patrons 12 and over, and emergency exits are available, though guests who already quake with terror at the sight of Michael Jackson when he's not dressed up as Pumpkinhead should be warned that there are no refunds.
