USS Halloween Horror Nights 2025: Haunted houses inspired by Stranger Things, Thai film series Death Whisperer, Lifestyle News
Ahead of the occasion, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) announced in a press release on Thursday (Aug 14) that Halloween Horror Nights 13 at Universal Studios Singapore (USS) will be held from Sept 26 to Nov 1.
This year, tickets are more affordable too, at $68 for non-peak nights and $78 for peak nights. Last year's tickets were $80 for non-peak nights and $90 for peak nights.
Guests can look forward to four haunted houses, two scare zones and two live shows.
Out of the four haunted houses, three are based off popular shows and books.
Probably the most anticipated one would be Stranger Things, which was first featured in Halloween Horror Nights 8 in 2018.
This year's edition was inspired by seasons two, three and four of the famous Netflix original series and the theme is timely since the show's final season will be released on Nov 26.
From Starcourt Mall to Vecna's mind lair, guests can relive the show's intense moments in the recreation of the supernatural environment.
Another haunted house is based off Death Whisperer, a popular horror film franchise that ranks among Thailand's highest-grossing films.
Death Whisperer was adapted from the story of a vengeful spirit in search of a new host and is set in rural Kanchanaburi, Thailand, in 1972.
The haunted house recreates moments from the first two films, from swamps and wheatfields to the witch's twisted hut.
Once again, this theme is timely because Death Whisperer 3 is premiering worldwide on Oct 1.
There's also The Unruly Immortals, a haunted house inspired by the hit online Chinese novel that amassed more than 11.3 million subscribers across Chinese culture and entertainment group Yuwen's online literature platforms.
This is USS's first collaboration with a Chinese novel intellectual property.
In this haunted house, guests will follow high school student Li Huowang as he navigates two conflicting realities — one where ancient rituals transform him into living medicine, and a hospital ward where doctors deny the supernatural and insist his visions are hallucinations.
The final haunted house, Singapore's Most Haunted: Build To Horror, was first introduced in last year's edition of Halloween Horror Nights.
This time around, the story revolves around unsuspecting residents living on a burial ground for unclaimed bodies and an entity called Demonic Sinseh, who possesses innocent people through his dark rituals. Scare zones and live shows
Apart from the haunted houses, guests can look forward to two scare zones and two live shows.
The first scare zone is The Fearground, which is presented by soft-drinks brand Fanta.
Here, a once fun and innocent fair becomes a place of horror and guests will face chaotic carnies like Madame Marionette and Bonebreaker. The carnival's ringleader, The Death Devil, is also looking for contestants for his twisted game.
The second is The Realm of Yokai, which is inspired by the Hyakki Yagyo (Night Parade of 100 Demons).
Guests will need to look out for spirits, demons and forgotten creatures from ancient Japanese folklore that will emerge from the shadows.
As for the shows, there is Dare or Die Live! Which, a horror gameshow, as well as Once Upon a Time…to Die, which features mutilated master of time who is fast approaching his end.
Tickets for Halloween Horror Nights can be purchased on RWS Sentosa's website and through its official ticketing partner Klook.
Going in a group? There's the Frights for Four bundle deal of four tickets. This comes with perks including early entry to the park and guests will have access to rides from 4pm. Tickets cost $480 for a group of four.
Another option is the Halloween Horror Nights RIP Tour, which is a guided VIP experience that lets guests skip the queues at the haunted houses and rides. Additionally, they can enjoy special experiences including a private meet and greet with select Halloween Horror Nights 13 characters. Tickets cost $260 for one pax.
Want to skip the long queues? Get the Halloween Horror Nights Express Pass, which allows guests to skip the regular lines one time at all haunted houses. There's also the Halloween Horror Nights Express Plus Pass that allows guests to skip the regular lines one time at all haunted houses, as well as participating rides and attractions.

Vogue's guide to acing your workwear
When I try to conjure up an image of what modern workwear looks like today, an image of Jeremy Allen White (or well, Carmy from The Bear ) trailing through the streets of New York plays in my mind. In some ways, White and his on-screen character share certain overlaps—at least in the sartorial realm. Both have a rotating uniform going for them, a modular wardrobe of well-worn, rugged separates that could include casual tees, an enduring pair of trousers and kicks, and some real vintage jackets thrown into the mix. Carmy from The Bear boasts a trusty rotation of vintage jackets Courtesy of FX A particular pap of JAW pulling a folding cart of his whole day sticks out in particular; in it, you'll find a bouquet of flowers, his kid's belongings, and well…his kid. Yet it's his uniform of the day that draws me in. Whilst his winter uniform consists of a chore jacket or two thrown into the mix, on most days this summer, he's been hashing it out in comfort: a tee with holes, some baggy trousers and a washed out cap. Looking like he's meant to be going places and getting things done. Closer to home, Chinese workwear has also been having its moment. In recent months, a miner had gone viral on Douyin, for his fire fits from the actual underground. With his protective headgear and worker bag in tow, he flits between earthy tones and durable denim that just make sense. And there's an undeniable appeal to it. @afaa815 Just so you know – this is my desk, not a Balenciaga pop-up!#underground #ootd #fitcheck ♬ 原创音乐 – 啊飞阿阿 After all, the world of workwear is the most accessible there is. It finds its roots in the practical and the real; what was once recognised as standard issue for workers during the era of industrialisation—be it the chore coat of 19th century France or the uniforms that were once worn throughout the traditional Chinese workforce. A hardy jacket worn with trousers or some dungarees, rendered in an indigo blue dye that was not only readily available, but effective at masking stains. The 'aesthetic' may now be synonymous with brands such as Carhartt and Dickies, but these brands also first started out by creating hard-worn garments that were durable for all sorts of labour-centric occupations, from woodworkers and carpenters to chefs and industrial workers. Clothes that were built for function—and would stand the test of time. And when it finally made its way into street subcultures, no one would question it—its appeal had always been about its utility and comfort. So in trying to put an outfit together that teems with workwear sensibilities? The key would be about finding balance, and not trying too hard.

Leave it to Jeremy Allen White to ace that effortless sense of controlled ease, one made possible by his love for vintage pulls and functional separates that truly communicates living life on the go.

Taiwanese actors Ann Hsu and Roy Chiu welcome their first child, a boy
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Some of the celebrity couple's friends in the entertainment industry reportedly received full-month gift boxes and were surprised to learn that Ann Hsu had given birth. Taiwanese actress Ann Hsu and actor Roy Chiu have welcomed their first child after almost four years of marriage. Hsu, who turned 41 on Aug 7, announced the news on Instagram on Aug 14. Posting a photo of a tiny foot nestled in the hands of two adults, she wrote in Chinese: 'We are doing fine.' She did not give details on the baby's gender and date of birth, but Taiwanese media reported the child is a boy and was likely born in July. China Times said in an exclusive report on Aug 14 that some of the celebrity couple's friends in the entertainment industry have received full-month gift boxes and were surprised to learn that Hsu had given birth. The words 'Ian Baby 2025. Summer' were printed in the cards included in the full-month gift boxes sent by Hsu and Chiu, 43. Also included was this message: 'Roy & Ann's baby Ian was born healthy and safe into this world. He already has his own ideas at such a young age. He loves to laugh, is a foodie, enjoys eating and bathing with his dad as well as listening to his mum's stories before going to sleep.' Hsu and Chiu announced their marriage in December 2021 after playing lovers in Taiwanese romantic movie Man In Love (2021). Their nuptials came as a surprise then as the pair had shied away from confirming their relationship until then, and they have hardly shared photos of themselves together on social media after getting hitched. News of Hsu's pregnancy was first reported by Mirror Daily in May . The Taiwanese news outlet quoted a source close to the low-profile couple that Hsu was four months pregnant then. Hsu had cut down on her public appearances earlier in 2025 and turned down job offers after starring in the critically acclaimed Taiwanese series Imperfect Us (2024), which won her Best Leading Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film at Taiwan's Golden Bell Awards. She was spotted with a visible baby bump by Taiwan's Mirror Media in June while shopping in Taipei's Xinyi Shopping District. The Taiwanese media said then that she looked to be in at least her seventh month of pregnancy. The baby's arrival is also a double blessing for Chiu, who is starring in Taiwanese actress Shu Qi's directorial feature film debut, Girl. The Taiwanese coming-of-age drama will hold its world premiere in the main competition of the Venice Film Festival in September, where it has been shortlisted for the prestigious Golden Lion award.
