From 27 September to 31 October, Singapore’s largest and most iconic Halloween event, Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights, returns for the eighth edition bringing Infinite Fear to all. Featuring five terrifying haunted houses, three killer live shows and two scare zones, Halloween Horror Nights 8 at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) is set to be bigger and scarier than ever.
With the theme of Infinite Fear, fans can expect a never-ending cycle of fear, thrills and countless scares. Experience one of the most horrifying tales in Asian folklore such as the legend of the Pontianak and survive vampire-laden secret rooms in Killuminati, the most interactive haunted house ever created in the history of Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights.
Universal Studios Singapore’s First-Ever Tie-Up with a TV series: Netflix’s Stranger Things Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights 8 will be remarkably different from previous editions with the first-ever tie-up with a popular TV series. This year, Universal Studios Singapore will collaborate with Netflix to bring to life its critically-acclaimed series, Stranger Things.
The highly-anticipated Stranger Things haunted house will feature the most number of thematic rooms to date. Fans will be transported into twelve artfully recreated scenes and storylines, from the menacing Hawkins National Laboratory, to the Byers home adorned with an erratic display of flashing Christmas lights and the eerie Upside Down woods.
Asian horror take centre stage in four haunted houses This year’s edition will showcase Asian horror, which have proven to be a hit amongst local guests, in four haunted houses. Fans can enter the world of Killuminati – the Chinese secret society of vampires that has existed for centuries – where mystery, controversy and nightmares await. Watch out for never-beforeseen stunts and expect lots of twists in this highly interactive house where even the bravest souls may end up in different secret rooms!
Two haunted houses will unravel the spine-tingling narratives of two different iconic ghosts in Asian folklore: the Japanese ghost story of Yotsuya and the legend of the Pontianak. Step back in time to the chilling Edo-era of Japan in The Haunting of Oiwa and come face-to-face with Lady Oiwa who returns from the dead seeking revenge after being poisoned by her unfaithful husband.
Over at the Pontianak haunted house, thrill-seekers will need to tread carefully in a Malay village as they survive the various hair-raising scenes and stories of the Pontianak unfolding before their eyes, from how she was created, to the banana trees where she resides, and the laundry area where she sniffs out the next victim. For the first time, the infamous long-haired female vampiric ghost gets her very own haunted house named after her.
Two Western-themed scare zones and three live shows Get thrown into chaos at Apocalypse: Earth as Mother Earth unleashes her most terrifying forces and takes over New York. Guests can also witness the ancient tribe of man-hunters in Cannibal, where the bodies of rivals killed in revenge are being devoured.
Fans can take a break from the screams and join the charismatic Gideon Grim, the Motivational Death Coach, as he captivates guests with tips on highly effective scaring in DEAD Talks! DEAD Talks is an allnew, witty, seminar-style show with cutting-edge illusions, electrifying dancing and acrobatics at the Pantages Hollywood Theater.
Bigger, Better and Scarier: Zombie Laser Tag Back by Popular Demand Back by popular demand since its debut last year, Zombie Laser Tag returns with an arena double the size. Each team of eight participants will work together for one mission: to fend off and “kill” zombies in infested areas. Participants can expect more zombies, face greater obstacles and rev up for more action, all in the company of a drill sergeant who will lead the way to ensure everyone gets out alive. The Zombie Laser Tag experience is available at an additional S$38 per participant.
