In this song-filled family show, Dr. Victor Henry Stein had created a new potion/machine to turn the freaky fun characters into their human counterparts, but upon trying it out the Freaky Funk Squad were only able to communicate in song…

As a result, guests enjoyed a rock ‘n’ roll monster party, featuring a live vocalist, musicians and character performers!

The Squad also appeared nightly in the Alton Towers Hotel in their Rock & Roll show, The Freaky Funk Squad Remixed. They then also headed over to Splash Landings Hotel, for their Dia De Muertos Show.

Scarefest 2018 was to be the first and last time to catch live music from the Squad, with the act not making a return the following year.
