Soap fans will be given the chance to follow in the footsteps of one of Coronation Street’s most notorious killers as Richard ‘Tricky Dicky’ Hillman returns for Halloween.
Visitors will be able to follow the paths some of the show’s most infamous killers on a guided ‘murder walk’ from October 27-31.
On Halloween night, the Street’s most psychotic serious killer Richard Hillman will rise from the dead and return to the scene of his crimes to terrify visitors with tales of his murderous rampage.
“I had some fantastic storylines during my time on Coronation Street. Richard was such a sinister and eerie character – I’ve certainly got some ghastly stories to share from his years of murderous crimes,” Brian Capron, who played the role of Hillman.
Richard is sure to have plenty of dirt to dish, from leaving Duggie Ferguson for dead to brutally killing his wife Patricia with a shovel.
Corrie fans will also be able to survey the location where Richard ‘tricky Dicky’ Hillman violently murdered Ashley Elliot’s sweetheart Maxine.
More than 15million viewers tuned in to see Corrie serial killer Hillman take out the hairdresser with a crowbar in 2003.
