Universal Studios Singapore's annual mega fright fest is back for its lucky 13th edition this Halloween season – this time with a Stranger Things theme. This is the second collaboration between USS and the Netflix series, with the last similar tie-up being in 2018.

Step into the spooky dimension of Upside Down with an all-new Stranger Things haunted house, or escape a cursed estate built on a graveyard with 'Singapore's Most Haunted: Build to Horror'. Still unscathed? Spook yourself silly at the scare zones – witness a parade of Japanese demons with 'The Realm of Yokai', and try to keep your wits about you as you brave the haunted carnival that is 'The FEARground'. The ghoulish fun doesn't end there. Catch chilling live performances, a horror gameshow, and indulge in an immersive bar experience for your dose of spirits …in more ways than one. Tickets start from $58 on non-peak nights, and from $68 on peak nights. But set a reminder to snag discounted rates during the early bird sale – it starts on July 13, 2025 and will be open for a limited period of time.

Netflix's ‘Stranger Things' Revisits Universal Studios Singapore's Halloween Horror Nights 13
Halloween Horror Nights 8 brought the terrors of the Upside Down to life, but that was just the beginning. As the annual horror fest returns with its 13th edition at Universal Studios Singapore, visitors can expect to step through the gates of Hawkins again — this time with an all-new haunted house experience that relives the events of Seasons 2, 3, and 4. Taking place from 26 September to 1 November, Halloween Horror Nights 13 is set for 18 nights of frights, with the Stranger Things-inspired attraction leading the charge. It will feature iconic locations from the acclaimed Netflix series, including the shadowy halls of Hawkins National Laboratory, Vecna's blood-red mind lair, and Starcourt Mall, alongside familiar abominations like the Mind Flayer and Demodogs. The themed installation marks Universal Studios Singapore's fourth collaboration with Netflix, following haunted houses modelled after Korean global hits Sweet Home and All of Us Are Dead for Halloween Horror Nights 12 and 11, respectively, as well as the first Stranger Things experience. Joining the flagship experience are Singapore's Most Haunted: Build to Horror, focusing on unsuspecting residents living on a burial ground for unclaimed bodies who are possessed by a demonic sinseh; The Realm of Yokai scare zone, which puts spirits, demons, and forgotten creatures from Japanese folklore front and centre; and the FEARground scare zone that adds a nightmarish touch to carnival and circus acts. Two brand-new live shows are also due to make their debut: Dare or Die Live!, described as a 'chaotic spectacle [that is] equal parts horror gameshow and deranged fears of fear, and Once Upon a Time…to Die, centring on the mutilated master of time, Mr Rabid and his plan to steal life-altering items from innocent fairytale legends. 'Time is the greatest enemy and survival is simply an illusion,' reads the official description for Halloween Horror Nights 13. 'As the seconds creep towards the cursed 13th hour, fans will confront a multiverse of terror in haunted houses, scare zones, live shows, and an immersive bar experience. With every tick, a new hellscape emerges. With every tock, demons creep closer to claim new souls.' Admission starts at S$58 for non-peak nights and S$68 for peak nights, with early bird tickets going on sale from 13 July for a limited time on the Resorts World Sentosa website and official ticketing partner Klook. Guests who purchase the newly launched Universal Studios Singapore Season Pass can enjoy exclusive offers on select tickets, which must be purchased separately, and unlimited entry to the premises for six months as part of a larger celebration of the country's 60th birthday. More information about the remaining haunted house experiences will be revealed on the event page. As for Stranger Things, the fifth and final season is scheduled for a three-part release: the first four episodes on 26 November, another three on Christmas Day, and the finale on New Year's Eve.

'I could not possibly discard the embryo': Lee Si-young pregnant with second child through IVF months after divorce , Entertainment News
Lee Si-young, who divorced her husband in March, has revealed she is pregnant with her second child in an Instagram post on Tuesday (July 8). The South Korean actress said she underwent in vitro fertilisation (IVF) during her marriage but the transferring of the fertilised embryo was done after their divorce. She added her ex did not consent to the second pregnancy. "Eight years ago when I had (my son) Jung-yoon, who is now the most precious person in my life, I was not married and was filming a drama. Back then, I was younger than I am now and had many shortcomings. And every time I watched Jung-yoon in my arms, I regretted and blamed myself for the time I spent anxiously and negatively. "That's why I promised myself that if I ever get another chance at life, I would never repeat the same regrets." Si-young married businessman Cho Seong-hyun, 52, in 2017 and their son was born in 2018. The 43-year-old added: "A long time had passed without transferring the fertilised embryo, and naturally, we began discussing a divorce. After we settled all legal ties, the five-year storage period for the embryo was reaching an end, and I had to make a decision. I decided to receive it." She said her ex did not consent to it and she will hold full responsibility for her decision, adding: "I could not possibly discard the embryo whose storage period was about to end." Si-young called her choice a "meaningful decision" and that she's grateful for the new life. Her due date was not specified. In response, her ex-husband Cho told South Korean media Dispatch that he initially did not agree to the second pregnancy as they were divorced but added: "Since a life has already been created, I will fulfil my responsibilities as a father." He noted that the pair have been communicating frequently due to Jung-yoon and said: "We will do our best to fulfil our respective roles by discussing the necessary matters related to giving birth and raising a second child." Si-young rose to fame after acting in the K-drama series Boys Over Flowers (2009) and has starred in Sweet Home (2020 to 2024) and two seasons of reality show Zombieverse (2023 and 2024). She is currently starring in Salon de Holmes, an action-comedy series about four neglected housewives turned amateur sleuths. She travelled to Singapore in December last year with her son, visiting Universal Studios Singapore, Gardens by the Bay and other attractions.

At 7.45pm, his wife, actress Datin Lisa Surihani, received a call from the USS management informing her that someone had found and handed in a phone matching Yusry's description.
