Universal Studios Singapore Halloween Horror Nights has become an iconic annual event, drawing massive crowds of thrill-seekers eager to experience bone-chilling horror. For 2024, its 12th edition, Halloween Horror Nights 12 (HHN12) takes fright to a new level, with a theme centered on dark dreams that blur the lines between reality and imagination. Running from 27 September to 2 November 2024, HHN12 offers an expanded lineup of haunted houses, scare zones, and immersive experiences, all promising to plunge visitors into an unforgettable night of terror.
The Haunted Houses: Where Nightmares Come Alive
This year’s HHN12 features four intricately designed haunted houses, each with its own dark and terrifying theme. Leading the lineup is Netflix’s Sweet Home, a fan-favourite from the streaming giant’s popular apocalyptic horror series. Visitors will traverse a post-apocalyptic world where monsters stalk every corner, and survival seems impossible. The atmospheric setting draws on the original show’s gripping intensity, making it a must-visit house for fans of the series and horror in general.
Equally spine-chilling is Under the Castle, created by Team Wang Design. This haunted house delves into the eerie depths of a cursed fortress, where ancient evils lurk and nightmarish creatures reign. The artistry behind the visuals and the deeply unsettling atmosphere are bound to leave a lasting impression on visitors.
Adding to the lineup is Cursed Scrolls: Dynasty of Darkness, a tale that pulls from rich Asian folklore, unraveling the mystery of an ancient scroll that releases a deadly curse. The attention to cultural elements, combined with gruesome effects, creates a deeply immersive experience that brings to life the rich horror of dynastic legends.
Perhaps the most locally resonant haunted house this year is Singapore’s Most Haunted: The Killings. Tapping into urban legends and real-life haunted locations in Singapore, this house brings a chilling, close-to-home horror experience that taps into the nation’s collective fears. For visitors, this haunting is not just a brush with fiction, but with the supernatural tales that have echoed through Singapore’s corridors for years.
Scare Zones: Terror in Every Step
Once guests exit the haunted houses, they step into outdoor scare zones, each featuring fresh and terrifying themes. In Vampire Alley, visitors enter a dark world where vampires prowl the streets in search of their next prey. The eerie atmosphere, with gothic touches, keeps the suspense high as guests attempt to evade the bloodthirsty creatures lurking in the shadows.
The Lost Kampung offers a more unsettling experience, transporting visitors to a cursed village. Here, haunted relics and vengeful spirits create a chilling atmosphere. Each twist in the path might lead to another ghostly encounter, deepening the eerie tension as the supernatural tale of this village unfolds.
For a unique twist, Nether-Land is a rave party where the undead gather, swaying to hypnotic beats and voodoo-inspired rhythms. The vibrant lights and music bring a high-energy, yet spooky vibe to this zone. Sponsored by Tiger Soju Infused Lager, this area also includes the Tiger® Twisted Bar, where visitors can enjoy themed beverages to keep the party atmosphere alive while they continue to experience the night of terror.
Live Shows: Frights and Entertainment Collide
Three live shows take the terror up a notch, each providing a unique performance that complements the rest of the HHN12 experience. Night Terrors, a brand-new projection mapping show, combines high-tech visuals with the haunting figures of Asian folklore, creating a surreal spectacle that brings horror to life in the park’s Far Far Away zone. The combination of light, sound, and storytelling in this show promises to mesmerize and horrify guests in equal measure.
Returning this year is the Dark Dreams show at the Pantages Theatre, where the story of the Dream Reaper unfolds. This terrifying character feeds on the nightmares of the innocent, pulling souls into a twisted nightmare realm. Featuring elaborate sets and special effects, this is one of the most immersive theatrical experiences of the event.
Ocu.lar’s Rave rounds out the lineup with a unique dance performance where guests join the undead in a hypnotic, high-energy rave. The show reaches its climax with giant puppets and a fever-pitch dance party, bringing an unusual fusion of horror and entertainment.
The Viper Lounge: A Hidden Dark Escape
For those looking to elevate their Halloween Horror Nights 12 (HHN12) experience, the Viper Lounge offers an exclusive, immersive escape from the main event’s adrenaline rush. This hidden speakeasy, run by a sinister vampiric clan, provides a luxurious yet chilling atmosphere where guests can indulge in themed drinks and canapés while eerie, supernatural events unfold around them. The Viper Lounge offers a unique break from the terror, with a sophisticated, haunting twist. Access to this lavish experience is available as an add-on (ranging from S$25–S$35 depending on the ticket package), offering a refined, spine-tingling complement to the evening’s horror festivities.
