Getting Spooked at Sentosa Spooktacular!
Sentosa Spooktacular has been going on for 3 years now, according to the organizers, but this is the first time it is being held at Fort Siloso after dark. Normally, they close off Fort Siloso by 6 pm, so this is your chance to go get spooked there after dark. The organizers cheekily reminded us that we should be vigilant about whether the spooks around us were just talents or actual spooks. At least, I hopethey were being cheeky.
The spooky fun started at the entrance that was set up at the bottom of the hill to Fort Siloso. Walking into the curtains, we were jumped on by two ghouls dressed up in some old Chinese warrior costume things which made people in front scream. Looking up, I realized that the hill towards the entrance of Camp Berhantu, the first trail, was scattered with the walking dead lurching around, creeping up behind people and just very, very intent on scaring the stuffing out of you. I kept looking out around me to make sure nothing was creeping up on me but that's pretty tough because they were everywhere.
Just a couple of the spookies waiting for you on the way to Camp Berhantu. |
According to the briefing we received before entering the trails, there are 200 talents recruited to scare the absolute daylights out of everyone and five trails to explore. The trails are: Camp Berhantu, a maze with some kind of laser tag game going on, The Land of Lost Souls, The Last Sequel, which was frankly the most terrifying of the trails, The Deadly Dolls Studio and the Ouija Board. I won't spoil the trails for you, you'll simply have to go check them out yourself. They were fantastically terrifying and hilarious at the same time. Except for The Last Sequel, that was just pure terror. There is one thing we didn't really enjoy about the trail at Camp Berhantu. The thick smoke and strobe lights blinded us so much, I think we kicked some equipment on the floor and may have stepped on a 'ghost' because we couldn't see anything. Oops.
That was one Mahjong game that lasted a bit too long... |
Sentosa Spooktacular will be held on the 19th & 20th of October, 26th-28th October 2012 at Fort Siloso from 7 pm to 11 pm each night.
Ticket prices are: $48 for the regular pass, $10 for the Kia Gui pass (no admission to trails) and an additional $25 for the fast pass. Tickets can be bought at Sentosa ticketing counters at VivoCity or www.spooktacular.com.sg
The event was a fruitful one and the crowd does matter. As for this time round I don't mean the "good brothers" but I am referring to the other bloggers that made the event really fun.
