A HALLOWEEN event at a popular shopping centre in Glasgow is offering free entry to anyone with a certain name TODAY.

As part of their celebration for Friday 13, the Spooktacular event at Silverburn is offering anyone called "Jason" free admission to the fair on Friday, October 13.

The date is famed by the American horror film franchise Friday the 13th which focuses on the main character Jason Voorhees - which is why the fair is allowing Jason's free entry.

Zoe Taylor, operational manager of Spooktacular, said: “The Spooktacular team love a scary film - it comes with the job! We conducted a poll across the team and Friday the 13th was pronounced our favourite film.

“I know some people consider Friday the 13th to be somewhat unlucky but Scotland’s Jason's can rejoice this year with free entry to Spooktacular on Friday 13th!”

The first 100 people to each session with Jason as their first legal name will just need to present themselves at the ticket booth and show their valid ID to enjoy free entry.

On top of that, Friday, October 13, marks the first day of "Spook Week", where Spooktacular will be open for two sessions per day; 12pm until 4pm and 5pm until 9pm for the duration of the school holidays.
