5 Uniquely Wicked Events To Spend Your Halloween Weekend
As a Halloween baby, the last weekend of October is typically my favourite time of the year. My birthdays are horror-themed naturally so you can imagine I'm pretty jaded when it comes to the typical costume parties or mainstream spook-tacular events (sorry USS Halloween Horror Nights!).
But fret not, I've taken the liberty to research some unique Halloween events taking place in Singapore this weekend that marry fiendish elements with a novel premise. Caution - they may or may not be for the faint-hearted.
