The band will be playing at the London Palladium on Monday 28 October and have called for anyone attending the Night Of A Thousand Vampires show to do so in fancy dress. More than 1,040 fans need to dress-up in order to beat the current record.

The group has also teamed up with Hammer House Of Horror for the special show, which will be an immersive theatrical experience. Studio boss Simon Oakes has even promised a special prize for the best-dressed fan .

Tickets for the show went on sale this morning (Friday 28 June).
