Universal Studios Singapore is set to transform into a realm of fear and folklore this Halloween season with its much-anticipated Halloween Horror Nights 13, running from 26 September to 1 November 2025. This year’s event takes on a darker and more immersive turn, drawing inspiration from Asian horror with haunted houses based on legendary Thai and Chinese tales.
With 18 nights of terror, visitors can expect more than just jump scares. The event combines storytelling, culture, and chilling special effects, creating a Halloween celebration that is both terrifying and culturally unique.
The Unruly Immortals – A Journey into Chinese Horror
Halloween Horror Nights 13 at Universal Studios Singapore
One of the highlights is The Unruly Immortals, adapted from the bestselling Chinese novel that has captivated readers across Asia. Guests will be plunged into the mind of Li Huowang, a troubled student torn between the mystical world of ancient Taoist alchemy and the cold reality of a hospital ward insisting he’s merely hallucinating.
Foxtail Pen, the author behind the original story, remarked: “Turning words into a real-life experience has been a magical journey.” The house blends mythology, psychological horror, and disorienting visuals, promising a nightmarish yet unforgettable experience.
Death Whisperer – Thai Folklore Comes Alive
For the first time ever, a Thai horror film inspires a Universal Studios haunted house. Death Whisperer, Thailand’s highest-grossing horror film in a decade, transports visitors into a cursed 1970s village haunted by a vengeful spirit searching for a new host.
Surachedh Assawaruenganun, CEO of M STUDIO, said: “We are deeply honoured. This marks the first time a Thai film has been featured in such a world-class attraction.”
This house blends traditional Thai supernatural elements with spine-chilling set design, immersing guests in a uniquely Southeast Asian nightmare.
