While Halloween Horror Nights might be the go-to choice for some, we understand that it might be time for new spine-tingling experiences.
If you’re looking for a new scare, we’re recommending alternative horror houses for those who chase heart-stopping scares, but also variety of others, such as a family-friendly party, a pet-friendly gathering, and more.
Best things to do in Singapore during Halloween
1. HomeTeamNS SpoOktober: Detention After Dark
Three weekends, three clubhouses, and the scares get heavier each time.
The first weekend is an aquatic-themed haunted school with two scare zones, the second moves to a deserted school block with escape rooms, and the finale runs four zones with live actors. Each night also has a carnival area with games and trick-or-treating, so younger kids have somewhere to go if the scare zones are too much.
Tickets start from $22 for HomeTeamNS members and $35 for guests. Children aged 3 and below enter free.
