Not every Halloween night needs screams and jump scares. Sometimes, all it takes is a room full of candles and a few familiar tunes to set the mood.

​

Step into The Arts House on 30 and 31 October for Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics, where the Vocalise String Quartet brings some of Halloween’s most recognisable sounds to life. From Stranger Things and Beetlejuice to The Addams Family, Ghostbusters and The Nightmare Before Christmas, expect a haunting soundtrack performed beneath the warm glow of hundreds of candles.

​

It’s Halloween with a little less fright and a lot more atmosphere — perfect for those who prefer their spooky season with a touch of mystery and music.

Phobia: the science of fear

Ever wondered why does your heart race when you see something frightening? Or why can something completely harmless trigger a very real sense of fear? At Science Centre Singapore, Phobia²: The Science of Fear takes a closer look at what happens when our brains encounter something we fear.
 

Explore the psychology, physiology and cultural roots behind different phobias through interactive experiences that put your reactions to the test. From the fears we encounter in everyday life to some of the more unusual ones, the exhibition reveals the science behind that instinctive feeling of “I really don’t want to go in there.”
 

This Halloween, skip the haunted house and get curious about what’s happening inside your head instead.

Walk with Hantu: Changi Tour

Think you know Singapore? Head east after dark and you might discover a side of the island that rarely makes it onto the usual tourist trail. 

Walk With Hantu: Changi Tour takes you through the quieter corners of Changi, where forgotten places, local folklore and eerie tales come together after sunset. Along the way, pass through traces of Changi’s past — from its old coastal kampong surroundings and former British military buildings to the infamous Old Changi Hospital, a site with its own fascinating wartime history and reputation for ghost stories.

With your guide filling the walk with local legends, strange stories and tales passed down over the years, this is a chance to see a very different side of Singapore — one where history and folklore make the night feel just a little more unsettling. Truly an experience not meant for the faint of heart.
