Doors To 'HELL'oween

Hello everyone!
Oh my goodness when was the last time I updated my blog??? I'm so sorry for the lack of updates!
I have been busy with my school work as well as my part-time work.. No events during the holidays (actually there are but I was unable to attend them :().

Today I am gonna talk about a Halloween event happening in Singapore! October, a month of Halloween. :D
I am not a fan of horror movies, but I like to read creepy tales, go to Haunted Houses (like the one I'm gonna talk about) and go Trick or Treating when I was in Primary school with my friends.

So this Halloween event is called "Doors To 'HELL'oween" and is held at Downtown East D'Marquee.

Here is the poster:




There are a few Halloween events in Singapore but what makes this Halloween event different from the others? Let me list a few points:

1. It has 4 'DOORS' for you to enter and experience the ultimate horror.

The 1st door is the main highlight, which is the Terror Maze.


It has 16 trails inside this Terror Maze! Whoa! You can expect unexpected jump scares and pop-ups! When you walk the maze, you might see something, but, is it really there?

The second door is the Carnival Rides.


Why stop at a heart-throbbing adventure when you can enjoy another blood-rushing thrill? The Carnival Ride are open to adults & children because the creatures really likes young wailing and adults screaming...

The third door is the CSI Door.


Do you like mystery fiction? Being a detective? Solves brain-wrecking riddles? Then this door is perfect for you. Good luck trying to crack the case...

And the last door is the Treats Door.


Unlike the other 3 doors, this promotion is valid from the whole of October (except for 31st October). Nothing scary about this, it is a way to thank you for coming to Doors To 'HELL'oween. Trick or treat! Or rather, treat or treat!


2. The Hell Passes (tickets) are cheaper.

For $30 (for NTUC /nEbO Plus! members) & $35 for the members of public, you get to enjoy all these fun & excitement! That's a pretty good deal if you ask me. Don't look down on the ticket price, because the level of horror of this Halloween event is gonna SCARE you! (Hehehe pun intended).


3. Other forms of entertainment.

Say you have been to all of the attractions of Doors To 'HELL'oween, you might think there's nothing else you can do? WRONG. You can watch a movie at Cathay Cineplexes in E!Hub. I know Ouija is out, why not go on a full Halloween streak when you're there? Or if you wanna calm yourselves down, there are other movies for your selection. :)

If movie is not your thing, there are other forms of entertainment to make you (temporary) forget your fears such as Colosseum & Party World KTV.


If you wanna know what to expect in the Terror Maze, here's 3 trailers for you to anticipate it:

Trailer 1



Trailer 2



Trailer 3



Pretty well done huh? I like Chain Prisoner the best. :D

And to all students! There is a special promotion for you! If you use the promo code 'STUDENTS18' when you check out, you can get the tickets at $18! Perks of being a student because there are student promotions everywhere in Singapore xD.
So what are you waiting for? Hurry up & gather your friends before the promotion ends!

The tickets can be purchase here: http://bit.ly/DTH14

See you there! I can't wait for the Halloween event to be here! Take a break from my stress (or is it the other way round?)

Sentosa 4D Adventureland Halloween night: TRAPPED

Good afternoon everyone!
Yes yes yes, it's a fresh post!
I'm sorry I didn't update because I had an ongoing event & that event is over!
That event is not just a day event, a long period of 11 days period.
If you have follow me closely, I have blogged about this excited & scary event!
Yup, it's the Halloween night @ Sentosa!

So the whole of October I was busy every Friday & Saturday, and one Sunday.
I have to make my way down to Harbourfront in the afternoon when the show starts at 7pm.
Well, it's because we need to put on our make-up and eat.
Some of the scare actor's make up took around 2 hours to finish! For instance, mine.
I'll tell you in a bit ;)

I won't be talking about the things that happened from Day 1 all the way to Day 11, I think I'll bore you. d:
So I'm just gonna summarise the best parts of the event.
During the full-dress rehearsal & media preview, I was the Possessed Wife. I took over Nicole's role because she was unable to attend on both days.
It was really fun, you know. Working with Keith, the Priest who is suppose to exorcise me & we were actually acting out the scene for the guests. But towards the end we did our own freestyle & scare the guests our way.
There was a bed & air-con, so I can take occasional breaks. Only when the 4D ride is ongoing then I get to rest. It was very fun, I got praised by my acting skills by the media too! *Beaming with pride*
Yusuf & Natalyn were also in the maze, talking to them during the break is often interesting because they aren't boring. I laughed way too hard.


Some people say I look like a panda, some say I look like I kena beaten by mafia. xD
The make-up got thicker on another day.

The origami hat made by Yoshi!
Gosh I look fat there. See the strangle mark?

My real role was a Ballerina Corpse Bride. The make-up is, whoa, way thicker & harder to wash.
It's not only full-faced, but the neck, back, half arms & sometimes ears.
One day they decided to paint my legs too because they say my legs are 'prominent', as quoted from Shimin, the make-up IC in the committee. So.... let the photos do the talking.


I'm a human canvas
Selfie hehe 
This role is more tiring than the Possessed Wife because it is a roaming character. That means I have to interact & entertain the guests outside. Which is really exhausting. Especially when the queue keeps on stretching.
But you get to take pictures with the guests! ^-^

While waiting for our turn to put on make-up, the committee played movies for us to watch. Sometimes American films, sometimes animation, sometimes horror.
Like Chucky, Conjuring, etc.
But the memory that I cannot forget is when the group of us sat in a circle, and played Charades.
People like Aashna, Natalyn, Baven, Karthik, Johnathan, Renwei, Sean, and more makes the game funny!
I swear I laugh the hardest during the game, I had the time of my life.
I extremely feel satisfied when I laughed to the fullest. Thank you people ;)

There's always something happening every night! Packed with laughter and sarcasm is really a night to have.
Each night is always the same thing: travel to Sentosa, wait for make-up, did make-up. dinner, show, remove make-up, home.
What I look forward to during the show was the bus bay.
We would wait at the bus bay for our respective buses. While we wait, we'll talk & spout nonsense, sarcasm, etc. Again, laughter.
Especially with the 3 douches: Renwei, Kelvin & Johnathan.
They act like real jerks but in a jokingly way I can tolerate. I can talk to them about anything & feel comfortable with it. For instance, small butt. Yes, I have a small butt. :(

The one with cap: John. Team SP: Kelvin. Bloody boy: Renwei
Yup, they are real fun & nice to hang out with!
Here are the rest of the people!




The people there are really outgoing & very open!
There was one day when I was outside talking to John & Daniel. Quah & Xueting were outside using their phone too.
Yusuf came out, look at the situation, turned to me and said, 'how much?'
I was like, 'huh?' Then I look around. HOLY SHIT. It really looked like 'it'!
Karthik came out to smoke, said the same thing to me. =_=
Keith came out & asked Xueting.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS.

During the last day of the event, everyone was like asking me if I have brought an extra set of clothes. I was very confused about the question. End up there was a water splashing joy as the closing ceremony.
They brought in 2 hoses!!! The committee are such asshose (LOL geddit?)
They splashed us coloured water too, I kept telling myself that was not detergent. Because it was blue in colour and it had a pungent smell.
Eew.
I didn't have an extra set because I wasn't informed :( (I didn't attend the previous day).
So oh well..

Shimin gave the ballerinas a box of Macaroons to share!! Thank you so much! :D
There is also Twelve Cupcakes to be shared :)
In the office we watched a video about the progress from Day 1 to Day 11! It was really funny.
The best part of the video? AUDITION CLIPS.
Holy shit I was extremely nervous & embarrassed to see mine. I wanted mine to appear as soon as possible so it can be over and done with quickly. But till the end, the suspense was killing me. But at the end of the video, my part was left out. Turns out they couldn't find my clip so... YAY.
We all laughed at each other's moments. Now that the event is over, I'm kinda sad.
I wanna play man, I don't wanna study.

I didn't regret joining this event. Because this opportunity does not come twice! So I decide to live my life to the fullest, be as colourful as it can be.
Next year, hopefully, my IP team will get this Halloween event as our project!

There will be a post-event party next month! I can't wait! I miss those people already.
Goodbye!

Think your level of handling horror is high?

BOO!

Did I scare you? I think not. :okay:
Remember the previous post I have mentioned that I'll be having a Halloween event?
Nope, I am not the one organising & planning this event (which I may when I'm Year 2). In fact, I am gonna be IN the event!
That's right! I am one of the scare actors!
Pretty cool & exciting, huh? I know ;)
It is a new event, with only its 3rd year or was it 4th year operating this year.


What is so good & unique about this event?

1. It consists of 4D simulator.
You know, 4D rides that pumps in adrenaline in your blood, forcing the scream out of your lungs. Popped out images that make you swing your hands hoping the monster will get out of your face. The best part about this programme is that, it brings you into the world of 4D, making you feel like you're part of it. What's your excuse not to go?

2. There is a story line following the maze.
I cannot reveal exactly what it is, you'll have to go there and experience yourself in order to get 100% feel. You will be led through, from the beginning to the end, what the characters and showing without talking (maybe screaming).

3. Free unlimited tries for all rides.
If you buy the early fright pass, you can get spooked as many times as you want! (That's if, you like thrills ;D)

We also have roaming scare actors for you to take photos with and keep it as memories! Just don't provoke them or else they go insane! (Hahahah, who am I kidding?!)
Here's the link to purchase the fright pass: click me .
If you lost your way drifting here, no worries, here's a guide: map

I guarantee it will be a fun & spooky night to remember! So come on down to experience the thrills and amusing scare actors!

I'll see you there... In fact, I see you now.... hehehe...
