After Dark: Halloween Horror Night 5, Universal Studios Singapore

Saya berjalan perlahan sambil menggerakkan tangan ke kiri dan kanan, mencari dinding atau patokan apapun untuk berjalan. Suasana sangat gelap dan sulit mencari arah. Kami melewati lapisan kain yang digantung, di ujung lorong terlihat cahaya di tengah asap, membentuk kabut merah. Samar-samar terdengar suara, sesuatu di ujung lorong ini menunggu kami..

As I kept walking slowly, I moved my hands left and right, tried to reach the wall or anything as a grip to help me walk. The surroundings was so dark that it’s hard for us to get direction. We passed the hanging cloth and found out there was a light in the end of the alley amidst the smoke, shaped in the red mist. We heard a voice vaguely, and knew for sure there was “something” ahead waiting.

Tahun 2015 ini merupakan kali ke-5 Halloween Horror Night muncul sebagai bagian dari masa Halloween di Universal Studios Singapore, namun bagi saya ini adalah pertama kali saya menikmati "hiburan" ini.

2015 is the fifth time of Halloween Horror Night took part in the Halloween season in Universal Studios Singapore but this was my first time to enjoy “an experience” like this.

Memasuki Universal Studios Singapore di saat Halloween Horror Night sungguh sangat berbeda. Selain dibuka saat gelap, set sebagian sisi USS berubah dengan adanya area-area baru dengan rasa suram dan horror tentunya.

Going to Universal Studios Singapore became so different during Halloween Horror Night. Besides the opening hour at night, almost the whole side of USS was turned into darker atmosphere by making several new horror spots.

Kami memulai dengan masuk ke area The MRT yang dibuat berdasarkan kisah "True Singapore Ghost Stories" karya Russell Lee. Layaknya rumah hantu, kita akan memasuki lorong gelap dan menebak-nebak apa yang akan muncul. Meski tentu saja kita sudah mengetahui bahwa semuanya adalah settingan, namun Halloween Horror Night 5 (HHN5) memberikan berbagai kejutan melalui set yang spektakuler, cast scarer (hantu, zombie or anything) dengan wardrobe dan make up yang memukau dan tentunya berbagai efek lain yang memunculkan suasana horror dan tegang.

We started entering The MRT area which was made by the story of “True Singapore Ghost Stores” by Russell Lee. As a haunted house in common, it led us to the dark alley, being clueless about the next point. Though we knew all of those stuff were not the real ones, but Halloween Horror Night 5 (HHN5) kept surprising us by their spectacular show, cast scarer (ghost, zombie, or anything) with an excellent wardrobe and make-up, also another effects to let us feel the horror sensation.

Tidak hanya tiga rumah hantu dengan tema yang berbeda yaitu The MRT, Hell House dan Siloso Gatewat Block 50, HHN5 juga memberikan sensasi yang berbeda di scare zone outdoor: The Invaders, conTERMINATED dan Hungry Ghost.

HHN5 not only have the three haunted house with different themes like The MRT, Hell House, and Siloso Gatewat Block 50, but they also gave a new taste in the scare zone outdoor: The Invaders, Conterminated, and Hungry Ghost.

"Bagian ini yang biasanya paling menyeramkan untuk orang Singapura," ujar Anggie yang menemani kami sambil menunjuk area The MRT. Rupanya keterkaitan cerita yang dikenal luas oleh warga Singapura dan set yang familiar membuat area ini menakutkan bagi mereka. Jawaban akan pertanyaan "What's your biggest fear" akan selalu berbeda, rasa takut memang bukan pada objek yang ada namun pada pikiran kita yang dipengaruhi elemen-elemen apa yang familiar pada diri kita.

“Usually, this one was the scariest for Singaporean,” said Anggi, our partner, while pointed out to The MRT. The fact that it related to the folk-tale and the familiar set was enough to get them frightened. The answer of “what’s your biggest fear?” question would always be different since the fear itself was not about the physical things yet what’s on our mind.

Di HHN5 anda dapat memilih area mana yang mungkin paling menakutkan, but we'll never know before we try, so are you ready for all the horror?

In HHN5, you can choose which area that scary you the most but since we’ll never know before we try, are you ready for all the horror?
