Be A Part Of The Stranger Things Universe This Halloween As A DemaGorgon

Every September/October, Universal Studios all over the world take on a sinister veil when night falls. The ghosts and ghouls come out to play and screams are heard across the park during its annual Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). This year, Universal Studios Singapore (USS), along with Universals Studio Hollywood and Universal Studios Orlando, transforms into the menacing Upside Down from Netflix’s Strangers Things, dragging you into the spooky parallel universe that will make every Stranger Things fan’s dream come true.

Usually, our Halloween Horror Nights is an original production by Universal Studios Singapore but this time, they have worked closely with Stranger Things’ creators and executive producer – Matt Duffer, Ross Duffer and Shawn Levy – so you can be certain that everything is authentic representations that are true to the series.
Although we’d have been more than happy to recreate the whole of Hawkins in USS is a tall order to ask especially since the park drops its scary facade when the sun comes up. To find out what fans would like to see at the this year’s scare event, the team has asked fans to submit their ideas for the haunted houses and, by doing so, stand a chance to win a pair of tickets to HHN 2018! It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
The 8th edition of HHN at Universal Studios Singapore will be based on the first season of Netflix’s original series and the rooms will be sorted in chronological order, allowing you to, literally, walk through and experience iconic scenes from the season, like the Byers house with erratic Christmas lights displays or the chilling Hawkins National Laboratory. Not only will you be able to witness the scenes from your screens come to life, there’ll also be a myriad of smells and sounds to really immerse you in the Stranger Things world. This sounds really awesome but we’re hoping that Hawkins doesn’t smell too bad.

The good news (or bad news if you’re afraid of haunted houses) is that there will be 14 scenes, or rooms, in each maze, up from the usual 9 so you get to immerse yourself in the Stranger Things world for even longer! While you’re making your way through the mazes, you may bump into your favourite characters from the series but don’t be too happy because these characters also include the demonic Demogorgons so be prepared to take off, unless you have biokinesis capabilities like Eleven.

The best way to really immerse yourselves in the Stranger Things story is to actually take on the role of a character. Most of us will never be able to join the real Stranger Things cast but we can audition as a scare-actor for this year’s HHN and if we’re lucky enough, become Eleven or even a Demogorgon! If you’re more into scaring people than getting scared, they’re holding auditions for scare-actors in June so take some time off and head to *SCAPE to be part of a Halloween experience you’ll never forget.

HHN 2018 opens on 28 September, Friday and lasts until Halloween night, 31 October. Tickets are now on sale so grab them as fast as possible to get limited-edition Stranger Things merchandise and before the prime nights (especially Halloween) are snapped up.
Also, if you missed out on last year’s Zombie Laser Tag Experience, you’ll be happy to hear that they’re bringing the zombie horror experience! Just purchase it as an add-on to your admission ticket at $38 per person and you and your mates will be gunning down the living dead in this zombie apocalypse.
It gets harder and harder to top the last one but we are always impressed every year we go to Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights, and we’re sure this year will be no different.
