Get spooky with these Halloween-themed events that will promise you a bone-chilling night.
TBH Halloween in the Lion City is not about going door to door for cavity-causing candies, it’s about scary blowouts and hair-raising revelries. This October, put on your best spooky outfit and get ready to hit the dance floor alongside some terrifying tipples at these Halloween-themed events. Foodies, join in the spooky fun as we have thrown in a few hair-raising dining spots to check out.
PARTY
Get Juiced
25 – 27 October
The first cashless bar will turn its space to the Island of the Dolls. The actual island is located in Mexico where it’s home to hundreds of dolls and we’re not talking about cookie-cutter Barbie dolls. The dolls are battered – headless, armless and eyeless! Spooky right? So expect an army of creepy dolls hanging around as Get Juiced resident DJs spin sick beats all night.
Get Juiced, #02-01 Clarke Quay, 3E River Valley Road, Singapore 179024
Zouk
25 – 27 October
Nightlife behemoth, Zouk is going all out this Halloween with a horror story that will have you thinking Hawkins National Laboratory (yes, we made a Stranger Things reference). Step into Zouk and Phuture as it transforms itself into an abandoned lab from the 1960s due to some ominous radiation leak. Party the night away alongside wacky scientists, strange creatures and evil park rangers.
Zouk, 3C River Valley Road, The Cannery Singapore 179022
Bar Rouge
25 – 26 October
Ditching the glamour and opting for gross this Halloween, Bar Rouge is turning its chic space into a human meat market – Rouge Grossery Store. Step into the ‘cold room’ and party amongst hanging limbs and The Abominable Monster. Dress your best as one of the prizes include a one-night stay at Swissôtel The Stamford with breakfast (we can assure you there won’t be any human body parts in there).
Bar Rouge Singapore, Swissôtel The Stamford, #71-01, Singapore 178882
The Riverhouse
25 – 31 October
The grand two-storey Chinese heritage building will turn into a haunted house this Halloween. Pregame at Yin Bar & Lounge with a deadly cocktail called The Killah, a concoction of tequila, triple sec, spicy mango, strawberry puree and pineapple juice, then continue the revelry at Yang International Nightclub. You’ll be enthralled (or spooked) as you come across stilt walkers, contortionists and scarily-dressed dancers on the dancefloor.
The Riverhouse, 3A River Valley Road, Clarke Quay, #01-02, Singapore 179020
Cé La Vi
26 & 31 October
Did Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal of the iconic bloodthirsty clown Pennywise scare the brave out of you in the cinemas? If you’re in for a similar thrill, Cé La Vi has something creepy in store. The spectacular rooftop nightclub is bringing back London’s Cirque Le Soir on 26 October, to dazzle us with magicians, sword swallowers, acrobats, exotic dancers and freaky clowns (the worst!). On Halloween day itself, the lounge will bring you glow-in-the-dark fun with its Neon Jungle theme. Smear some neon paint and party the night away with hip hop beats.
