This film festival wants to spook S’poreans with Asian horror, on screen and in the flesh

Amid spooky festivities such as Universal Studio’s annual Halloween Horror Night, the House of Horrors Film Festival is set to make its first haunt this Halloween.

When it comes to horror movies, one cannot leave Asian horror out of the conversation. From franchises such as Japan’s Ju-On and classics like Thailand’s Pee Mak, this film festival aims to place the creativity of the Asian horror genre front and centre for horror enthusiasts and film buffs alike.

The festival will run from October 25, 2024, to November 3, 2024—here’s what we know so far.

Six horror films, one haunted house

Six horror movie titles will be screened during the festival at The Projector X cinema at Cineleisure, ranging from cult classics to found footage thrillers across the region:

You can also expect to experience the horror firsthand at The Realm—the festival’s haunted house that brings the on-screen terror to life on the first floor of Orchard Cineleisure.

The experience has five immersive “worlds” replicating movie scenes from Asian horror films, where you will have to find clues to solve simple tasks to move through the haunted house.

Ticket Prices

Tickets are now on sale via The Projector’s website and Eventbrite.

We might not be the biggest horror junkies, but we can never say no to having a good scare, especially in the Halloween season. On top of that, we doubt that any event in Singapore has both movie screenings and a haunted house in one, so why not give it a shot?
