Singapore Halloween Festival

4/11

It may be a family-friendly event but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it too; you can certainly let your hair down at the dance party.

This year's event will be the first Halloween event here to be held at a water park so get ready to slip and slide while you're having fun.

One of the highlights is 'Panic in the Park', where participants will run from the 'undead', who are hungry for human flesh.

There's also a Halloween Cosplay Competition, which gives everyone the chance to recreate iconic horror characters from Asian and Western film and literature.

Make-up artists will be on hand if you need any help with 'character development'.

When: 4 & 5 November

Halloween Horror Nights

6/11

This is one of Singapore's most epic Halloween parties and – dare we say it – probably the scariest too.

The 'Scare Zones' have names such as Pilgrimage of Sin (the seven deadly sins have been unleashed on earth and fanatics have emerged to pay penance and plea for absolution) and Happy Horror Days (Father Time has reversed all the joyful merriment of holidays to horror), which sound scary enough without even having to live through them.

Don't miss Zombie Laser Tag, where flesh-eating zombies are ravaging the world and your mission is to kill them all. 

When: Until 29 October

Where: Resorts World Sentosa, 8 Sentosa Gateway

The Thriller Burger Veganburg

9/11

This local vegan burger joint has pulled out all the stops to scare customers during October.

The Thriller Burger pays homage to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, as its named after his hit, Thriller, but it's themed after the popular Netflix show, Stranger Things.

VeganBurg transforms into a retro scare zone this month, recreating the spook and horror or iconic pieces of pop culture from the '80s.

The burger itself features a ghoulish black charcoal bun head, with fillings including crispy plant-protein patty, dairy-free aioli, thick-cut juicy tomatoes and BBQ sauce.

The burger is served over dry ice, for an added bewitching experience. Get the burger itself for $10.90 or $15.80 as a meal (with frizzy fries and a witch's Kiwi brew, served in a strawberry 'blood-rimmed' cup).

Stay Alive This Halloween @ Bugis+

11/11

This Halloween, Arctic Fox is working together with Bugis Plus and Bugis Junction to make sure you stay alive - through Virtual Reality (VR) games which combine the top-notch tech and zombies. Well at least they seem real. 

We tried the Arizona Sunshine Zombie experience and we loved it! With VR goggles and headphones you're completely immersed in an underground scene, with only a gun to protect yourself from zombies coming from all directions. Let your hairs stand from now till Oct 29.

For the gamers and gore-lovers out there - try the Time Zombies VR Competition, where you experience a similar encounter but with perks like level-ups. The experience lets you roam within a space, free from wire restraints. Qualifying rounds end on Oct 26 and finals are on Oct 29.

If you're a thrillseeker but a zombie-hater, try the Walk The Plank VR experience before it closes this Sunday (Oct 15). The aim is simple - get the delicious cake at the end of the plank and don’t fall off. 

Spend $20 in a single receipt at either Bugis+ or Bugis Junction till Oct 29 and you’ll have an entry to this unique experience.

Where: Bugis+ Atrium, Level 2 (Arizona Sunshine Zombie & Time Zombies), Bugis Junction (Walk The Plank)
