Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Halloween’s back and that means spooks galore! After two years of COVID-19 restrictions, you can expect a ghoulishly good time now that horror events in Singapore are back with a vengeance.
Some of these events are also scarily pricey so why not get your money’s worth? Capture your Halloween memories and make these experiences permanent by filming them. For basic video filming tips, check out this affordable corporate video production house.
So what does 2022 have in store for you this Halloween? Let’s find out more about the upcoming horror events in Singapore!
1. USS: Halloween Horror Nights

One of the biggest Halloween events in Singapore, Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) is back! If you didn’t already know, Halloween Horror Nights is a themed event in Universal Studios Singapore (USS). The beloved theme park is transformed into a terrifying labyrinth of haunted houses and scare zones.
This year, HHN features three haunted houses. In Killustrator: The Final Chapter, you can expect to be chased by a crazed artist (looks like you’ll finally get to be a work of art). Operation: Dead Force will have you on the run from starving zombies. In Hospitality of Horror, you will face a terrifying hotel mistress and she’s here to ensure you never check out.

There are also two scare zones: Dark Zodiac and The Hunt For Pontianak. Unlike haunted houses, these are open spaces where professional actors come out to scare you. This year, you’ll face the zodiac killer and Pontianak, which sounds like a devilishly good combination.

If you’re looking for more activities, you can shoot away in Escape the Breakout, a laser tag experience. If you’re famished, why not try Die-ning With The Dead and feast on a horror-themed meal? For a good show, perhaps you should watch Monsters & Manifestations, a series of monster-themed performances.
