Ten years since this shock 'n' roll circus first reared its ugly head at the Glastonbury Festival, the relentless and legendary Circus Of Horrors world tour is about to roll into the fair West Yorkshire town, its avowed intent being to horrify Huddersfield with its hair-raising acts.

It's a case of 'Roll up! Roll up...If you dare!' with members of the Circus describing what's on offer in January 2005 as 'bigger and badder than ever'.

Crashing into Huddersfield Town Hall on Tuesday 18th January, anyone without a strong constitution should probably keep away as the audience is promised a visit into a twisted world presided over by The Undead Ringmaster Doktor Haze.

He's promising to bring those brave enough face-to-face with oddities and circus acts including vampires flying through the air suspended only by their hair and Garry Stretch - who has the stretchiest skin in the world!

If you've never heard of the Circus Of Horrors, then their horrible history goes like this:

Ouch! Circus Of Horrors contortionist in action

The show was formed in the summer of 1995 and made its debut at the Glastonbury festival in that year. Since then it's toured extensively across the globe, including Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Holland and in festival dates throughout the UK, Ireland and Germany, plus an unprecedented 29 weeks at Camden's Roundhouse!

It has even performed at lots of high profile events like the Edinburgh Festival (three times!), on a cameo role on 'London's Burning' and on 'Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.

If that wasn't enough, these freaks have also performed with Robbie Williams for Prince Charles' televised 50th Birthday Party plus lots of its acts have been featured on Davina McCall's Don't tTry This AT Home, The Jerry Springer Show, Guinness World Records and on Graham Norton. The Circus has even appeared alongside Cradle Of Filth in their Burial Gown video.

Huddersfield may not quite be Gotham City or Transylvania, but For One Night Only it looks set to be transformed into a weird and wonderful place. And despite the fact the Circus is coming to town, there's not a clown in sight...

Now, that WOULD be scary!
