... such stuff as dreams are made on

Since when do politicians or laywers apply scrum?

Domain error. Politicians and lawyers are Hell's spawn().
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I have to organize a 1h30 horror trip for 6 - 12 year olds.
It should be a bit scary, but remember the age. I was thinking about a "story" where the children have to do stuff. (eg. oh no, zombie attack, get into the power circle where they can't reach you, ...stuff like that)
It will be twilight to dark (and we end at the camp fire)
The theme of the weekend is magicians, witches, zombies, werewolves, vampires ,... the children are at a magic school (much like Hogwarts).
Any ideas from this lot? Good websites, a good story, ... ?
Thanks.

Take away their phones and internet. That's enough horror.

Combine those two and you get a weapon of mass destruction. I wonder how long it will take until ISIS will claim to have invented both to let us infidel dogs suffer.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I wish they would: then we'd have to find a replacement pretty quickly!

Have them re-create an episode of Jim'll Fix It, special guest Rolf Harris and music by Gary Glitter.

How IS Rolf Harris by the way? Still swinging his extra leg in an exotic vacation spot where the sun doesn't shine?

The "Corpse of Nelson" stuff was great fun to me at about that age (where you are blind folded and have to identify the "body parts" of nelson - e.g. cold spaghetti for brain, mostly empty jar of vaseline for eye socket etc.)

We called it "Nelson's Eye", and it was part of the initiation ceremony for our local scout troop.

I'm not certain that an adult taking a jar of vaseline on a kids trip is strictly a good idea...

No - the world has changes since I was young, and not entirely for the better...
Peeled grapes for eyeballs maybe?

The most terrifying hour and a half of my young life was known as "double Geography", closely followed by "double Maths", "double Chemistry" and various other weekly tortures based on similar lines.
People were unspeakably cruel to children in those days.
Slogans aren't solutions.

If it's in the woods, you could do a sort of fairy-tale adventure (evade the big bad Wolf, go around the witch's gingerbread cottage, etc.). The idea is to exercise their imaginations.
You might want to ask their parents how many are familiar with this sort of fairy-tale; it loses most of the impact otherwise.

An aunt and uncle once organized something like that for my cousins birthday party, age range 10 to 13.
We went into the forest and some other family members and friends dressed up.
My grandpa was a silent fisherman who scared us when we got to close and other than that only pointed towards the next target.
Another uncle and a friend had a bed sheet on a cord between some trees that they would let go when a group of kids came close, it looked like a ghost crossed the path.
An aunt and my dad were the funniest, my aunt was dressed up as a frog and, together with my dad, jumped out of the forest screaming "CROAK!!!" and then be all innocent like "you don't have to be scared like that, I'm only a magical frog" and my dad was dressed up as red riding hood and handed out cookies 
Some of the kids got some pretty good scares (you could hear the girls from other groups screaming throughout the forest).
I know the adults enjoyed it a lot too, scaring a group of kids like that with a frog and red riding hood costume is a rather satisfying experience
Afterwards we had soup, bread and other food.
That was about 16 or 17 years ago (wow, I feel old now) and we still talk about it, so you could call that a success
