A SPOOKY guest will visit a North-East shopping centre this Halloween.

Uncle Doom and his Piano of Gloom will fill Darlington's Cornmill Centre with eerie tunes and his own special brand of comedy on Thursday, October 30.

The performer will glide around the shopping centre singing his spooky versions of songs including Thriller and Ghost Town, accompanied by a zombie and a mummy who will be handing out chocolate to those children who dare to come close.

Susan Young, centre manager at the Cornmill, said: “Uncle Doom and his Piano of Gloom is something completely new for Cornmill.

"We always like to thrill shoppers with something scary, creepy and thoroughly entertaining at Halloween and I’m sure our special guest and his gliding piano won’t disappoint.”

Uncle Doom and his Piano of Gloom will be at the centre between 10am and 4pm.
