The Best Halloween Parties You Don't Want to Miss this October

With Halloween just around the corner, you might still be wondering what the best events in Singapore are to get your scare on. Here is a list for all ages and interests on what you could do this Halloween.

Halloween first originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a religious celebration at the end of summer to mark the harvest season. People would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.

Since then, Halloween has evolved into the fun and scary holiday that we now know. It has been gaining popularity in Singapore with more and more people celebrating the holiday of ghouls and ghosts. Here is a run-down of events going on in October where you too can get in on the Halloween spirit.

Halloween Horror Nights

No Halloween list would be complete without mentioning Halloween Horror Nights. The long-awaited classic Halloween attraction has returned! After a two-year hiatus, the Universal Studios Halloween extravaganza is back with vengeance.

This year’s festivities include three haunted houses, two sinister scare zones, a live show and other side events like laser tag. You can take a tour of the Killustrator’s world, a horror illustrator who take joy in creating sick and twisted incarnations and setting them loose to terrorise those around him. If you dare, venture into the bunker of the Secret Forces Against the Dead to help the fight to eliminate zombies. Last but not least, step into the horror hotel, where the spirit of the blood-hungry mistress might try to trap you within her premises.
