My first Halloween Horror Nights experience! Went with Fee, Fa, Syaf, Faizal, Sal, Atifa, and Ida. Got express passes, so we managed to cover all 4 haunted houses!
Following Herbert's advice, we went to the innermost house first—True Singapore Ghost Stories: The MRT. Boy, was that scaryyyyy. We first had to walk through like a construction tunnel, through the Bidadari graveyard where we were greeted with pocongs wriggling out of their graves in the walls, then we walked through a bomoh's kampung where a dancer sprinkled water on us. Haha. Then there was a colourful time warp tunnel that rotated and made us dizzy although the bridge we were on wasn't moving. As we approached that tunnel, the queue was halted for some reason. At that area, just behind me, the was a sort of tree trunk with a hole. Suddenly something sprang out of it and I heard the girls behind me (Fee and Fa) scream and someone falling. Turns out Fa got so scared that she pushed Fee, who fell onto her butt hahahahahah and everyone just started laughing while helping her up. Even the ghost laughed! After the time warp tunnel, we entered a replica of the MRT. And it was really, really, creepy. It was hard to tell which were mannequins and which were scare actors coz of the flickering lights. And it was really scary coz we could not keep holding on to each other (I went in holding hands with Sal) as we had to avoid the poles in the middle. So we had to get close to the ghosts. And I was afraid I'd hit one of them lol. There was a little schoolgirl near the end of the train and she had big holes for eyes, which Sal complimented the ghost for 😒 Then there was a male ghost at the end who pointed at us with one hand and held a knife in the other. I actually did a double take on him coz I thought he was pretty cute underneath all that zombie makeup. Hehe.
Then we entered the Hungry Ghosts scare zone and took a picture with the only one we saw there. Entered the house there—Hell House. As the name suggested, it was hot. Upon entry, we met with a basket of "hell notes" to "protect" us. So we read the instructions at the back of the note as we walked toward the house. THEN A DOLL SUDDENLY APPEARED IN FRONT OF US AND GAVE US A SHOCK. Such strategic positioning. Very good. Hahaha. There was a short mirror maze inside, but they weren't all just mirrors. Some were doors! So a female ghost would randomly open the door and just scream at us. The scariest part of this house was towards the end, where we had to walk through two rows of hanging bodies. There was no telling if any of them was a ghost or if a ghost was hiding amongst the bodies. Thankfully there wasn't. Haha. Then on the way out we had to walk past some mannequins, and there were a couple of scare actors among them. And then one jumped out at the last bend! 😱
Walked through the The Invaders scare zone and took photos with some of the zombies/aliens there. Thought the zombie was pretty cute too lol.
The next house we went to was Siloso Gateway Blk 50. The entrance was creeeeepyyyyy. A deserted playground with a lone swinging swing. And the was a parking attendant there. Although I think the real one is scarier coz that means you should check if you've gotten a summon 😂 The rest of the house was scary though. Walked through an old HDB corridor, through a few houses owned by families of the different races. Got a shock when suddenly a window opened and an Angmoh-looking boy appeared, telling us "Don't go there!". Walked through a Eurasian zombie's house, who was "shot" by a soldier when he tried to grab us. Next was a Chinese house who just walked around and stared at us. Then an Indian house, where an Indian woman was scrubbing the floor and staring at us with scary white eyes. A Bollywood music video was playing on the tv so it wasn't too scary. It was actually pretty funny and Sal and I started dancing along haha. The last one was a Malay house, where an old Malay woman was sitting in the middle of a queen sized bed and just staring fixatedly at us while her cupboard locked with chains rattled on. That was the creepiest part of SG Blk 50, in my opinion.
The last house we went to was Tunnel People. It was smelly and pitch black, save for a couple of eery red candles that lit the corners. Near one corner there was a ghost reaching for us from above 😱 Frankly it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. It was only scary coz it was pitch black and we couldn't see ahead of us.
Thank God for the express pass, and thank God for my dad fetching me. Reached home around 12.10am, couldn't fall asleep till close to 1am, then couldn't sleep well throughout the night for unknown reasons. Didn't have any fear or nightmare or disturbance. Though my subconscious did sort of disturb me in my dream I guess. Oh well.
It was such a fun night, I don't remember when was the last time I felt this happy and free (besides Children's Day last week when we played soccer with the kids and the RTislanders' bond grew stronger). Alhamdulillah for everything 😊
