Those who love all things scary will have something to look forward to as Universal Studios Singapore (USS)'s Halloween Horror Nights is back for its 12th edition.
This year, there will be 18 nights of terror spanning from Sept 27 to Nov 2.
Last year's event saw five haunted houses — with two special collaboration houses — three scare zones and two live shows.
This year, there will only be four haunted houses, with one being a collaboration house with Netflix.
But there will also be three scare zones and three live shows. One of these shows will include a new projection mapping featuring the phantoms of Asian folklore.
On top of that, there will be an exciting, new and spooky speakeasy called Viper Lounge.
4 houses, 3 scare zones, 3 live shows
By now, most horror fanatics will know that this year's collaboration haunted house is inspired by popular horror Korean series Sweet Home, a show that is set in an apocalyptic world where human desires turn monstrous.
Guests can anticipate scares and scenes from the first two seasons of the show.
There will also be other haunted houses like Singapore’s Most Haunted: The Killings, which recreates the horrors of one of Singapore’s most haunted houses as well as Cursed Scrolls: Dynasty of Darkness, an immersive three-dimensional experience with evil entities and a possessed Qing Dynasty scholar.
Details of the fourth and final haunted house have not been revealed yet.
As for the scare zones, there is Vampire Alley, where guests have to dodge vampires that lurk in the shadows or risk becoming one themselves.
There's also The Lost Kampung, where vengeful spirits and cursed items make exploring the place a risky experience.
Finally, there's Nether-land, a rave party with the undead who are hypnotised by voodoo vibes.
Not scared enough? The three live shows may do the trick.
There is Night Terrors where a fortress is transformed into a haunted haven for the phantoms of Asian folklore. It'll also be the first projection mapping show in USS.
Another show to look forward to is Dark Dreams, which tells the twisted story of the Dream Reaper, who feeds off the nightmares of innocent people to steal their souls.
The third show is Ocu.lar’s Rave, which is a dance alongside the undead to hypnotic music and visuals.
Feeling a tipple in between all the scares? Head over to Viper Lounge, a lavish speakeasy bar owned by a vampiric clan known as The Elders.
At this immersive bar experience, guests can indulge in a range of canapes and drinks. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available.
