PUBLISHED October 9th, 2017 08:00 am | UPDATED October 10th, 2017 09:01 am
Halloween events are packing one hell of a bloody punch in Singapore this year. From a family-friendly buffet boasting spooky sweet treats to a freaky terrarium-making workshop and horror mash-up at the Asian Civilisations Museum, it’s time to don your coolest costume (we also have you covered with the best costume shops in Singapore) and treat yourself to the most horror-fying day of 2017!
Creepin’ It Real with W Singapore – Sentosa Cove
W Singapore’s exciting night pool party is back in the form of Creepin’ It Real, the only Halloween event in town to turn an entire outdoor pool area into a spooky den of screams and scares. Put on your scariest swim suits (we know, it’s difficult) and rock out to an epic night of tunes supplied by female DJ collective ATTAGIRL. There will be a haunted bus – yes, not a house – and if you manage to muster up enough courage, you might just win dining vouchers, drink coupons, and even a one-night stay in the hotel’s Wonderful Room. Plus, try your hand at surviving a zombie apocalypse at the virtual reality corner, have your photos taken at the 3D photo wall, and get your fortune told by a tarot card reader!
When: Saturday, 28 October 2017, 4pm – 10pm
Where: WET Pool, W Singapore – Sentosa Cove,
Admission is free if you RSVP by 27 October 2017. Drink packages available for $69 nett (three-hour free flow) and from $400 nett for bottle packages. See the Facebook event page here.
