It’s not October if you’re gonna keep spooky season all hushed. Halloween in Singapore is all about dressing up, plucking up the courage to visit haunted houses, or simply having a horror movie marathon.
From wild costume parties at clubs to a real-life zombie battle with Nerf guns, there’s a wide range of Halloween events happening this year.
If you need some fashion inspo to nab that best dressed title, check out these articles:
CÉ LA VI is back with another eccentric Halloween party titled Dirty Circus and it’ll feature fire breathers, exotic dancers and contortionists from the iconic Cirque Le Soir. It’ll be like a scene from The Greatest Showman but darker and more fantastical. And with booze!

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.
If clowns freak the daylights out of you, the Twisted Clown University is where you’d want to be. It’s a whole house of clowns but not the funny ones – these are the evil ones that lurk in your nightmares.
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.
