2. Battle Royale: Halloween 2016
This Halloween, everyone’s favourite bar in Orchard Road pays homage to the greatest fighters that ever existed.

The most badass costume of the night will also win a 4D3N stay at the gorgeous Amala Villas in Ubud, Bali, so now would be the time to get some kickass costume ideas.

5. Museum of Horrors VI – The Doll Factory
This Halloween, *SCAPE will transform its Ground Theatre into an ominous doll factory full of deranged dolls – which, lets face it, are way scarier than zombies or vampires. In its sixth edition this year, Museum of Horrors is somewhat of a horror house and museum experience, with seven chambers of themed rooms and scare actors ready to shock the living daylights out of you. This year’s theme is adapted from a true story (or so they say), with the horror house featuring the personal collection of a deranged doll master – including dolls made from…humans (cue gasps).
Dates: Selected nights between 26 October to 2 November 2016.
Time: 7pm – 10pm
Venue: *SCAPE, The Ground Theatre
Admission: From $15. See here for details.

7. Trick-or-Treating at Woodlands Woodgrove
Trick-or-treating may not be common in Singapore, but the good folks at Woodgrove have made an event out of it for all to enjoy. The privately-funded event (from security to road block permits) has become something of a tradition amongst the residents at Woodgrove in Woodlands, but all are welcome to join in the festivities. In fact, the event sees thousands of visitors every year, ranging from the young to old. Just be sure to respect private property when you’re there.
Date: 31 October 2016
Time: 6pm – 8pm, or until the candy runs out
Venue: Along Woodgrove Avenue. See here for a map of the exact location.
Admission: Free
