Calling all ghoulish die-hards. Halloween is fast approaching and if you’ve yet to plan anything for the upcoming spookfest then it’s about time you should. The celebration, which falls on October 31st every year, will be a little different this year than most years for obvious reasons (read: Covid-19). And while we didn’t get the chance to celebrate Halloween as we usually do back in 2020, there are a few places in Singapore that are creeping it real this year ’round.
From the annual Halloween Horror Nights festivities at Resorts World Sentosa, to an exciting virtual escape room murder mystery where you need to solve a “Murder at Old Changi Hospital”, here’s our roundup of the things to do this spooky season.
Miss celebrating Halloween at Zouk? Who doesn’t? While we can’t party like we used to before, we can still celebrate Halloween at one of our favourite nightspots this weekend. For their theme this year, Zouk has unveiled a spooky-themed celebration aptly titled Deadtime Stories that’s reminiscent of your favourite childhood fairy tales with a terrifying twist. Indulge in your favourite tipples at Capital Kitchen with your friends, or catch your favourite films over at Zouk Cinema Club. Adding on to the hair-raising experience this Halloween, be sure to swing by RedTail too to fuel up and munch on your favourite treats.
