Nights of Fright 7 @ Sunway Lagoon

When it is October, all creatures from the shadows come out to play. The Festival of Fear is here again at Sunway Lagoon where the horde of ghosts, zombies, monsters and beasts will stop at nothing to haunt mercilessly. This year at Nights of Fright 7, they come out fiercer and more outrageous than before. Think you are a scare master? Don't be too sure. The residents of the Nights of Frights will show you that horror is an understatement.

By 7:30 pm every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 27th September to 2nd November, the sun-beaming Sunway Lagoon will turn into a massive landscape of terror and fright. Send a jolt of shock through your veins and dip your mind in psychotic muddle when you visit the 8 professionally directed haunted attractions, 1 horror theater and 2 scare zones.

At the 7th installation of Nights of Fright
Nights of Fright is a red letter day in my calendar. The event gets better by the year. Lynton V. Harris' commitment to ideate fresh elements of scare while maintaining the Halloween favourites is the spell to keep fans like yours truely returning.

Scenes are ultra-realistic with props that scream details. They went to the extent of getting a real chicken as a prop at the Pondok Jampi at the launch night. All ghosts and characters were so professional that there was no hint of acting. The real ghosts might even be jealous of the costumes created here. The feelings invoked were more intense and not for the faint-hearted. Not all were plainly to scare. Every attraction has a story.  Some came with a sad history.

Just when you are feeling famished from all the screams and shocks, get infused with food that gives you the creeps. The food vendors are all in character that they can be mistaken as one of them.

In the midst of all the eeriness, save some guts to take photos with the hellish creatures. Just make sure they are the ones from the festival.

NOF7 keeps it ultra real and they get better every year
"You think we are joking?"
Going across that path sent a million shivers down my spine.
Keep your eyes wide open and always go in groups, you wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you on that freaky night! Take a stroll down this street on your way to Horrorwood Studios – it seems like some of Hollywood’s most famous horror killers have been set loose! Familiar faces are waiting for you at SLASHER STREET!

In HORRORJUKU IN UV3D, the ANGOSCIA fashion house - the scene for models, mayhem and murder! It is said that the famed Italian designer, Giorgio Angoscia, moved to Tokyo’s Harajuku district to design the most beautiful Gothic styles. One by one, however, models started disappearing after modelling for Angoscia, never to be seen again! The horror continues as the mannequins carry their lifeless souls in a haunting palace of beauty.
So you think bunnies are cute?
If you think you are an animal lover, you might think after entering ANIMALUM. Combining a drop of spooky, a pinch of strange, and a big bit of scary, ANIMALIUM houses these “zombified” animals that live strangely like humans deep inside a mountain in the lagoon.
You are never really alone
At your service
Beware of the bell boy
Step inside the HOTEL dEVILle and you may never leave! Long abandoned, and a shadow of its former glory; the rooms in this hotel have some very scary guests who have outstayed their welcome! It is a slaughterhouse of evil – the scariest place on earth. Make sure you do not become a permanent residence here too because fear does live here!
Bloodshed is gory
Don't say you are not warned
Remember the horror movies SAW, and Wolf Creek? Neither do we – we had our eyes closed all the time too! Inspired by these movies, BLOOD.SHED. takes its visitors through a remote and long-abandoned cluster of sheds, where it is believed many young tourists were captured, tortured, and left to die – the only remains are the remnants of the horror, and the bloodshed. You have been warned to stay away!
Plague Doctor
Last seen in the times of the catastrophic bubonic plague, Plague Doctors have reappeared to taunt a local village into believing that the plague has returned. These strange characters, with bird-like beak masks, wander the outskirts of the village seeking to save – but are they helping…or simply feeding off of death? You be the judge – you can always trust the doctor, but beware THE PLAGUE!
The horror continues
They are aiming for you
Spend some time with all of your favourite horror movie icons in HORRORWOOD STUDIOS, where movie memories come to chilling life – take good care and beware as you wander the corridors of HORRORWOOD and come face to face with your fears. See Ghost Face, along with Freddy, Billy, Jason, Michael, Aliens, Ghostbusters and Pennywise.

Is this just a theatre?
Welcome to the SCARYTALES THEATER! This year we bring to you the mystical ancient arts of the BOMOH. Governing all who enter this run-down theatre, do not trust your eyes or ears as the whispers of demonic chants blankets your conscious mind. Sit still and do not leave until the film ends or suffer the wrath of the ‘bomoh’ and scariest talismans and totems. A museum of witchcraft, candles and candelabras, this place of sinister worship awaits your soul!

Beware of the evil of the voodoo
Beware the evil that lies behind these doors at HOUSE OF VOODOO. Based on the origins of voodoo in New Orleans, Marie Laveau housed a collection of the spookiest and scariest talismans and totems. A museum of witchcraft, candles and candelabras, this place of sinister worship awaits your soul!

The ever trustworthy Ghost Busters!
Stalls that add to the fun
Reenergize at the Bloody Food Street
If you dare order from the mad chef
Silence of the Lambs
You will never see chicken rice the same way again
My dinner- lamb meat RM25
Recharge with a blood bag at RM15 each
Come if you dare!

Scarier Experience at Nights of Fright 6 @ Sunway Lagoon

It isn't October if I do not get my dose of Halloween from the Festival of Fear! Despite saying that, I thought I would feel like a seasoned visitor already at my fourth visit to Sunway Lagoon's Nights of Fright (NOF6). I was expecting a leisure night of photoshoot with the ghouls and creatures, telling my friend there was nothing to be afraid of. But boy, was I wrong!

Sunway Lagoon is not letting you go through their park without shudders down your spine. Think you already know what is at the end of the haunted house? Don't laugh too soon...This year, Sunway Lagoon amped up their game and you are in for a world-class scare!


When I finally got hold of the elixir, look what awaits
Every night after sunset from 28th September till 31st October, thrill-seekers will brave through the countless horrors that await them in Sunway Lagoon Nights of Fright 6 (NOF6), which has been thoroughly choreographed and directed in collaboration with Lynton V Harris. They will eke the respect out of you for their costume, make up and superb scare tactics!

Jack-o-lantern
Sunway Lagoon's Festival of Fear
Wendigo is wicked!
Step into WENDIGO – THE LEGEND IN THE MIST, to discover the place of myths and monsters. In folklore tales, Wendigo appears as an evil cannibal-like spirit that devours mankind. Wendigo are said to have an insatiable hunger for human flesh – no matter how much they eat, they remain hungry. They are hungry. For you.
They are everywhere
PHOBIA: COULROPHOBIA – THE FEAR OF CLOWNS will terrify many who have an inexplicable fear for clowns. They are in your head. You are in their house. In this disturbing situation, we are confronted with our irrational fears. Many say that clowns are supposed to make you laugh. Wrong. Dead Wrong.
Waiting for you
Like nothing more than being scared out of your wits? Head down to the SCARYTALES THEATER for some hair-raising horror stories. Sitting around inside a dimly lit house, or in the woods sitting around in a circle, watching and listening to the storytellers cast their spell through a frightening tale. Sit quietly and listen to the stories of Pontianak’s, Toyols and Pocongs, to the sounds that surround you, for they will stay with you, long into the night.


Food street
Halloween face painting
Further heighten the chill in your bones at SLAUGHTERHOUSE 13 by visiting Chan’s slaughterhouse and meat-packing plant which has long been closed down and abandoned after a worker, Lee Lee Choong discovered a not so beefy body hanging on the hooks inside the freezer of Slaughterhouse 13. Was it the long banished son, Calvin Chan who had mysteriously disappeared months earlier after a arguement with his father?

Embrace the fear
This is no ordinary night at the museum! Join Jason, Freddy, Billy, and Michael Myers as you make your way through this celebration of celluloid horror characters. Face your fear by looking into the GHOST FACE – THE FACE TO MAKE YOU SCREAM IN UV3D. Surrounded by a thousand faces, your worst nightmare comes to life again and again in this house of fear!

Face the curse of the witches when rituals go wrong. Experience it first-hand as you enter at JAMPI where you get to meet the Salem Witch, Malay Dukun, Indian Witch, and Chinese Witch while they chant mantras and perform rituals. For those who seek for twisted pleasures of pain, enter the ENCLAVE OF TORTURE where we give you the closest representation of brutal mutilation.

Can you survive the apocalypse when you enter ZOMBIE ZOO? Something has gotten into the animals and keepers at our underground zoo set deep inside the mountain. They are now out of control. Zombie mayhem within humans and animals are eager to terrorize the guests as they set foot upon this horrifying zoo.

Jampi – Asian Rituals. “Jampi” a path of asian witches chanting mantra and performing rituals.

You have been warned months before October arrived. Gates that hold all evil and horror opens and hell breaks loose. This is no longer your realm. Thrill junkies, rejoice!

I laugh in the face of the devil
Nights of Fright is Sunway Lagoon's trademark festival in October. The joint production with Lynton V. Harris from the Sudden Impact Entertainment sees meticulous preparation throughout the year. The team injected a slice of true events and myths with some Asian flavour. From 7th till 31st October, 7.30pm-11.30pm, Sunway Lagoon will be a playground for spirits and ghouls and lost souls.

Day of the Dead in 3D
There is a belief that says if you die, everything grows dark around the edges until there is only darkness. Prepare yourself with death at Day of the Dead in 3D where you will be exposed to the phenomenon of life of the dead. Stay alert as those with low spirit might be spotted by the dead souls and they would always want some company.
You'll be sorry for what you did to the inmates
Ever wondered what goes behind the bars of Pudu Jail? Experience it first hand as you walk through the judgement lane. where you are given the closest representation of how prisoners are hung alive!

Do not call yourself brave until you have entered the Island of Dolls, a replica of an accidental tourist attraction in Mexico which became famous due to a tragic disaster.
Wait till I break free
Overrun with squalor, human misery, oppression, disease and overcrowding, haunted hospitals have one thing in common, the deceased lingering their halls. Dystopia exposes you to a horrifying experience of patient treatments that are frightful to hear and daunting to see in the year 2147.

All within Scream Park, amp your fear levels and call up the Ghostbusters while wandering through the iconic Firehouse HQ and some infamous ghost locations such as Aldridge Manson and Sweard Street Subway.

If you think you are fearless, enter the Zombie Apocalypse with simply no escape once you step foot into the land of the undead who will show you the worst of fears. 

Face the curse of the sea at Zombie Pirates with the undead guardians shunning you away from bay into a pool of their horrifying tormet. 
And someone stole my heart
Then move on to Pontianak vs Pocong, a bloody affair of a lover returning as a pontianak and unfaithful husband as a Pocong- seeking what is rightfully theirs in a classic battle of evil versus evil.
What do you think you are looking at?
The Forest of Fear lures. Walk through different tombstones, haunted trees and leafy vines making your stroll in the forest vulnerable to surprise encounters. 

Join the parade at the March of the Undead, the street where scare characters walk about in different hauntingly beautiful make up and costumes. Decorated with Mexican paper flags and accompanied by large puppet processions honouring the dead, it will surely send chills down your spine.
Just a fantasy or is it?
