Whether you’re into creepy, spooky, or kooky, here’s how you can celebrate Halloween this year.

A SPOOKTOBER WEEKEND AT HOMETEAMNS KHATIB

DESCEND INTO THE DEPTHS OF DARKNESS AT HAW PAR VILLA

Get ready for a spine-chilling Halloween adventure unlike any other at Haw Ror Villa 3! Returning for two weekends this October (18 and 19 October; 25 and 26 October) at Haw Par Villa and Hell’s Museum, the event spans three zones filled with chills and thrills.

Start with Escape the Judges’ Wrath in Hell’s Museum, where you’ll navigate a spooky escape room packed with ghostly riddles, AR elements and terrifying encounters as you evade the Judges of Hell. Continue your haunting journey with The Villa Has Eyes, an eerie interactive tour where you’ll step into the shoes of a detective solving a decades-old murder.

TAKE A HAUNTED TRAIL WALK THROUGH CHANGI

Beyond its famous nasi lemak, Changi is also notorious for its haunted history. From coastal kampongs to derelict colonial-era buildings, the area’s spooky atmosphere is amplified by stories of mysterious drownings and wartime massacres.

Any of these experiences will ensure a memorable Halloween.
