I have wanted to experience Halloween Horror Night in either Universal Studio Singapore or Universal Studio Japan. Despite the fact that I could easily get scared of thrilling things, I also enjoy and get excited to get scared out of my skin.
So when my friends asked me to have a trip together to somewhere close, like Singapore, I told my brother about it and he became very excited. Mainly because it means that we could go to Halloween Horror Night 6 this year in Universal Studio Singapore. I immediately booked the tickets for four of us through Klook app and I got a very interesting price much cheaper than original.
The night we looked forward had come and we arrived at the venue an hour early so we still had time for having some accessories for ourselves, I mean it was supposed to feel like an early Halloween party. The gate opened and we led to watch the opening scaremony show, I did not know how was good the scaremony for the previous HHNs but this year was blah. It was opened with a comical DJ and the song lasted for quite a long time, too long. This kind of show could not be enjoyed unless you were drunk.
The moment we entered the park, thick smoke and dim lights gave us chills and such an eerie feeling, totally different from what we usually see in the daylight. Since the hype of getting into the haunted houses was very high, we could not have much time to get to all haunted houses. We only entered two out of five haunted houses because of the very long queues and we only planned to stay there until midnight. But, I had a frightening yet exciting experience for my first time joining Halloween Horror Night. Even when I only tried few haunted houses, the scare factors and their actor performances were nothing like I have tried before, especially the Old Changi Hospital.
We ended the night feeling very tired, I guess because I almost screamed the whole time inside the haunted houses. My first experience was quite exceeding my expectations, so I am looking forward for another Halloween Horror Night next year.
My one-night itinerary:
Arrive an hour early – Queue in front of the opening gate – Get the map include the stage shows schedules and plan where to go first – Watch the Opening Scaremony show – Get into Puss in Boots Giant Journey – Enter Haunted House: Old Changi Hospital – Get into Revenge of The Mummy – Get into Transformer The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle – Take photos around Scare Zones: March of The Dead – Enter Haunted House: Hawker Centre Massacre – Watch the night parade Death March – Take photos around Scare Zones: Suicide Forest – Get into Canopy Flyer – Watch Scared Shrekless 4D Adventure – Shop at the souvenirs shops – End.
Ps. Since it was Halloween special, so my favorites were the haunted houses. Too bad I could not able to take photos inside the haunted houses.
