After getting your outfit, what’s next? Show off your #OOTD! Celebrate Halloween with lyfeportal’s list of spine-chilling events. Ranging from hair-raising scare houses to kids-friendly events, with safe management measures loosened this year, there are plenty of attractions suitable for all.
Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights 10

Starting off the list with Southeast Asia’s biggest Halloween event, Halloween Horror Nights is back with more spine-chilling thrills! Here’s what you can expect: 3 Terrifying Haunted Houses, 2 Sinister Scare Zones, 3 Special Experiences, a Live Show and Ghoulishly Delicious Offerings. The Hunt for Pontianak scare zone sounds extra interesting and terrifying, as Pontianak stories are not unfamiliar to most Singaporeans. Many of us would have probably heard one or two in our life, regardless if it’s a personal recount from someone close or just a myth that has been spread for many generations. If you’re looking to get a good scare, this is definitely the event for you. Warning: not suitable for the faint-hearted ones!
Tickets are priced at $68 for non-peak, $78 for peak and $288 for R.I.P Tour (may your wallet and you both R.I.P)
