Never would I have imagined being in an elevator with a Pontianak, a bomoh, and a ghost<\/a>. \u201cAll in a day\u2019s work\u201d, I think to myself. As part of our new Beyond the 9 to 5 series, where we explore unique jobs in Singapore, I spent the day with three scareactors at Halloween Horror Nights<\/a> (HHN).<\/p>\n

Organised by Universal Studios Singapore (USS), HHN is one of the biggest Halloween events in Singapore. This year features three haunted houses, two scare zones, and a laser-tag challenge, amongst other spooky experiences. You may have experienced the event at least once in its 10-year run. Ever wondered what it\u2019s like to be on the other side of the fun?<\/p>\n

I chat with husband, wife and daughter trio \u2013 Rosta Dahlan, 63, Florence Joseph, 63, and Isabelle Rosta, 37. Along with their son, Rosta and Florence have been scareactors at Halloween Horror Nights for a combined number of five years. Soon after, their daughter Isabelle joined in 2019. They\u2019re fondly known as \u2018the family\u2019 among staff and other scareactors.<\/p>\n

This year, you can catch Florence as a wall ghost at the Hospitality of Horror haunted house and Rosta as a bohmoh at The Hunt for Pontianak scare zone. Isabelle\u2019s role is a little different. As a swing actor, she rotates between different actors, standing in for those who aren\u2019t around. On the day of our interview, she plays a ghostly victim at the Hospitality of Horror.<\/p>\n
