Haunted houses at Universal Studios
It’s a Halloween ritual for many of us to visit Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights for a good scare. This year, you can expect regional horror icons like the langsuir, naga and orang minyak amongst many other classic vengeful spirits.

There’ll be a total of 5 haunted houses to explore but if you need a break, there’ll be a chilling performance to catch and a street of more lighthearted carnival games.
