Halloween Horror Nights 13 runs on selected dates from 26 September to 1 November 2025, spread across 18 nights.

The schedule is built around weekends, with a few Thursday and Sunday nights added to the mix.

How many nights does the event run?

• Total: 18 nights (Klook)
• Non-peak nights: 26 September, 9 October, 16 October, 23 October, 30 October (EasyParcel)
• Peak nights: 3–4, 10–11, 17–19, 24–26, 31 October, 1 November (EasyParcel)

The pattern: non-peak nights are limited to one per week, while peak nights cluster around weekends and Halloween. If you’re flexible, a non-peak ticket saves money and reduces crowd pressure.

What time is Halloween Horror Nights 2025 in Singapore?

What time does the event open and close?

• Doors open: ~7:30 PM (some sources say 7 PM) (Dejiki.com)
• Event ends: 1:30 AM (midnight on some nights) (Dejiki.com)
• Recommended arrival: at least 30 minutes before gates open

Dejiki.com reports that Halloween Horror Nights 13 typically starts at 7 PM and ends at 12 AM across event nights, though the official venue may adjust hours for peak dates. The gates open earlier for entry and queue setup, so arriving by 7 PM gives you a head start on the first haunted house.

When should I arrive to avoid long lines?

• On non-peak nights, arriving at 7:30 PM is usually fine
• On peak nights, aim for 6:45 PM to be near the front of the entry queue
• Express pass holders can arrive later and still skip lines

The catch: even with early arrival, the first 30 minutes after gates open are the most efficient for hitting the most popular houses. After that, queues build quickly.

Does Universal Singapore have Halloween Horror Nights?

Is Halloween Horror Nights held every year at Universal Studios Singapore?

• HHN is an annual event at Universal Studios Singapore (CNA Lifestyle)
• The 2025 edition is the 13th iteration

Yes, Universal Studios Singapore hosts the event annually. Halloween Horror Nights 13 (HHN13) is the 2025 edition, continuing a tradition that started in 2011. The event is a separately ticketed event outside normal park hours.

What is the difference between regular park hours and HHN?

• Day tickets and Season Passes do not grant access to HHN (Dejiki.com)
• HHN runs from 7:30 PM to 1:30 AM, long after the park closes for regular guests
• The park is transformed with scare zones, haunted houses, and themed entertainment

The trade-off: you’re paying for a premium, after-hours experience that regular park admission doesn’t cover. For many, the exclusivity is part of the appeal.

Is Halloween Horror Nights Singapore worth it?

What do attendees say about the value?

• Dejiki.com describes the event as “well-executed” with immersive houses (Dejiki.com)
• CNA Lifestyle highlights the Stranger Things collaboration as a major draw (CNA Lifestyle)
• Traveloka notes that the event consistently sells out on peak nights (Traveloka)

Reviews from dejiki.com and other sources indicate strong positive reception. The haunted houses and scare zones are the main draws, and the IP collaborations add a layer of familiarity that attracts casual fans.

Should I buy a standard ticket or express pass?

• Standard ticket: S$68 (non-peak) / S$78 (peak) (Dejiki.com)
• Express Unlimited pass: recommended for peak nights (Dejiki.com)

Express pass recommended for limited nights. If you’re going on a Friday or Saturday, the express pass can double your house count. For a first-time attendee, the standard ticket on a non-peak night offers the best value.

Which days are least crowded at Universal Studios Singapore?

What is the best day of the week to attend HHN?

• Weekdays (Thursday, Sunday) are generally less crowded than Fridays and Saturdays (Dejiki.com)
• First few nights may be busier due to novelty
• Late October weeknights offer lower crowds

Dejiki.com reports that crowd levels vary significantly. Sunday nights tend to be quieter because many visitors have work the next day. Thursday nights are also a solid choice for avoiding long lines.

How do opening weekends compare to later dates?

• Opening weekend (26-27 Sep) attracts early adopters and season pass holders
• Mid-October weeknights are the sweet spot for low crowds
• Peak Halloween nights (30-31 Oct) are the busiest

The pattern: if you can take a Thursday or Sunday off, you’ll get the most houses per hour. For another major Singapore event guide, see our F1 Singapore 2025 Concert Lineup.

What we know vs. what’s still unclear

“Halloween Horror Nights 13 features a lineup that includes a Stranger Things haunted house, a collaboration with the Thai horror series Death Whisperer, and a house based on the Chinese novel The Unruly Immortals.”

— CNA Lifestyle (Singapore news outlet)

“For first-time attendees, the key is to have a plan. Know which houses you want to hit first and use the express pass if you’re going on a weekend.”

— Dejiki.com review author

For first-time attendees, the decision is clear: go on a Thursday or Sunday night, buy an express pass if you can afford it, and arrive by 7 PM to beat the queues. The 13th edition of Halloween Horror Nights is a well-crafted scarefest, but without planning, you’ll spend more time in line than in the houses. The trade-off: a little prep means a lot more fright.
