A 'terrifying Chucky doll' is locked in a box in a city pub as customers have the chance to release him and win prizes to mark Halloween.

The event at the Bridge Inn in Lowesmoor Terrace, Worcester tonight will give customers the opportunity to win £1,000 say managers.

The object of the game is to find the key and release Chucky, the demonically possessed doll from the Child's Play horror franchise, as part of the Bridge's 'Boozd up Bingo'.

Customers also have a chance to win up to £500 worth of cash and drinks prizes in normal bingo games. Marc Hammond is singing live from 4.30pm with the Fizzi do singing live from 8.30pm.

Karaoke takes place between 7pm and 8pm. Free games allow customers to win £230 in cash prizes and £70 of drinks in another free game.

A spokesperson for the pub said: "Every time you win a line, two lines or a full house in any of our games, you can pull out a key from the pot.

"You also have a chance of getting three extra keys by paying £5 (which goes into the £1,000 pot if not won).

"You must be in the venue before the first game to collect your free tickets, otherwise it's £2 per ticket (also goes into the £1,000 pot if not won).

"We will be selling books of five tickets for £10. There will be drinks & money prizes and another proportion will go to the £1,000 pot if it's not won."
