Halloween Horror Nights (2011)

The first Halloween Horror Nights in Singapore opened with 2 haunted attractions and 5 scare zones, including the one and only held in Sci-Fi City. Three zones in the park are closed for the night: Madagascar, Far Far Away, and The Lost World. Compared to recent years, it was a fairly small event for USS to find its footing and pave the road forward to bigger scares. It had only one true haunted house, the Peranakan-inspired Vengeance of the Matriarch, packed with many unique features that are rarely repeated in future events.

* Icon: The Director

* Haunted Attractions: Vengeance of the Matriarch (Haunted House, Soundstage 28), The Pestilence (Outdoor experience, Sting Alley)

* Scare Zones: Carn-EVIL (Hollywood), Post Apocalyptic Rage (New York), The Void (Sci-Fi City), The Edge of Darkness (Ancient Egypt), 44 Sins (Ancient Egypt)

Halloween Horror Nights 2

After a successful debut, Halloween Horror Nights returned in 2012 with an expanded line-up of 3 haunted houses, 3 scare zones, and a stage show (Monster Rock) carried over from the park's daytime line-up. From this year onwards, the main street connecting all the park's thematic zones is open at night. The park began to build haunted houses at the Waterworld queue, starting with The Insanitarium. This year marked the second and last time that Hollywood was used for a full-fledged scare zone.

* Lead Icon: The Puppet Master

* Other Icons: The Undertaker, High Priest, Dr Dementia

* Haunted Houses: Dungeon of Damnation (Soundstage 28), The Insanitarium (Waterworld queue), Death Alley (Outdoor experience, Sting Alley)

Halloween Horror Nights 3

With three times the evil, the horrors this year were summoned by the Sisters of Evil, three banished witches, who chose to reunite at Universal Studios Singapore. HHN3 also started the annual tradition of the Opening Scaremony, a show to kick off the horrors on every night of the event. Fans remember Adrift for its lavish scenic design and being the first house to feature multiple levels. From HHN3 onwards, the park began to use the Jurassic Park zone for Halloween, including a backstage area beside Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, for the Songs of Death haunted house.

* Icons: Maiden of the Opera, Crone of the Forest, Daughter of the Undead

* Haunted Houses: Adrift (Soundstage 28), Possessions (Waterworld queue), Songs of Death (Jurassic Park backstage)

Halloween Horror Nights 4

The fourth year saw the arrival of Jack the Clown, a fan favourite from US Halloween Horror Nights, which saw the creation of 2 unique attractions: Jack's Nightmare Circus stage show at Pantages, and the first 3D clown house, Jack's 3-Dementia. Jack shares the limelight with the Minister of Evil, also known as Jonah Goodwill, who was first revealed in an election campaign for a new World Leader. The park began to use the Breezeway beside Soundstage 28 for haunted houses from 2015, starting with Jing's Revenge.

Halloween Horror Nights 5

The fifth year leaned strongly towards local stories and folklore, bringing horrors to everyday experiences such as an unending hungry ghost festival, living in Singapore's public housing with zombies, and unearthing a deadly secret hidden in a haunted MRT station. The latter is a product of the park's collaboration with local horror writer Russell Lee, creator of the True Singapore Ghost Stories book series. Another highlight was walking through the larger-than-afterlife Hell House, which began to burn.

* Icons: Tok Naga Arang, Silas, Paper Effigy, Zombie

* Haunted Houses: True Singapore Ghost Stories: The MRT (Waterworld queue), Tunnel People (Breezeway), Hell House (Jurassic Park backstage), Siloso Gateway Block 50 (Soundstage 28)

Halloween Horror Nights 6

For Halloween Horror Nights 6, the event featured a single Icon, Lady Death, and added a fifth house to the line-up for the first time. Jack the Clown also returned to Pantages Hollywood Theater in the new Jack's Recurring Nightmare Circus. The event also saw a successful run of its park-wide Death March parade, themed to the March of the Dead scare zone. Soundstage 28 was not used for a haunted house due to the Universal Journey attraction being built, so the park conjured Salem Witch House behind the New York zone.

* Icon: Lady Death
