Halloween Horror Nights 14 has returned to Universal Studios Singapore, bringing four haunted houses, two scare zones and three live shows to the resort for 18 selected nights through Nov. 1.
Running from Sept. 25 to Nov. 1, the event takes place from 7.30pm to 12.30am and is built around a distinctly Singaporean horror theme centred on the Karang Guni Man.
This year’s storyline follows the familiar neighbourhood figure who collects unwanted and discarded items. In the Halloween Horror Nights version, his collection contains objects that were never meant to be found, unleashing a series of cursed entities across the park.
The main attraction is the lineup of four haunted houses.
“Karang Guni: The Cursed Collection” takes guests into the collector’s shop, where seemingly ordinary objects carry supernatural curses. “Singapore’s Most Haunted: ON AIR” turns a television studio into the setting for a series of dark hauntings, while “Chatterbox Charlie’s Vaudeville Horrors” combines sinister puppetry with a twisted theatrical performance.
The fourth house, “Made in Hell: XL Robotics,” moves away from traditional supernatural horror and into science fiction, placing guests inside a robotics facility where attempts to overcome human mortality have taken a disturbing turn.
Beyond the haunted houses, visitors can enter two immersive scare zones: “The Raveyard,” an undead neon party where the dead continue to celebrate, and “Necropolis: The Serpent’s Crossroads,” a darker setting ruled by a serpent king where every bargain comes with a price.
There are also three live shows throughout the night.
“The Scaremony” serves as the opening spectacle, officially releasing the horrors across the park. “Club PanDEMONium” returns with specialty acts, dark humour and high-energy performances, while “Nail the Beat” combines horror, music and supernatural characters including HamiKuma and Ponti-Ana.
The event also features roaming characters, meaning the scares continue outside the dedicated attractions. The Karang Guni Man and groups such as the Fatimah Rockers can appear around the park, creating unpredictable encounters between the main attractions.
Tickets start at S$68 for non-peak nights and S$78 for peak nights, while selected Mastercard offers provide discounts. Halloween Horror Nights admission is separate from regular Universal Studios Singapore daytime admission, so visitors need a dedicated event ticket.
For visitors looking to reduce waiting times, Express options are available as add-ons. The standard Express Pass allows guests to skip the regular queue once at each haunted house, while Express PLUS also covers participating rides and shows.
The event is not recommended for children under 13, reflecting the intensity of the horror experiences. Universal Studios Singapore also has specific costume rules, including restrictions on masks and facial coverings that obscure the face.
The 2026 edition is also part of a wider Halloween programme across Universal destinations, but Singapore’s event stands out for drawing heavily on local settings, characters and cultural references rather than relying solely on internationally known horror franchises.
With its combination of local folklore, haunted attractions, live entertainment and roaming scare characters, Halloween Horror Nights 14 gives Singapore’s Halloween season a distinctly homegrown horror identity.
For horror fans, the main challenge is not simply surviving the four haunted houses. It is navigating the entire park after dark, where the next scare can come from an attraction, a live show or a character appearing unexpectedly in the crowd.
