SENTOSA SPOOKTACULAR 2013 : Jointly produced with GTH - Media Preview Night [2/2]


Like I've mentioned in my earlier post (Sentosa Spooktacular 2013: Jointly produced with GTH - Fun Facts [1/2]), though this is the fifth year Sentosa Spooktacular was being organised, 2013 marks the first year I am attending it and also the first year Sentosa collaborated with GTH. Thanks a lot for the invitation!!!


Yes, I'm proud to say that I went through and survived the five horror trail of Sentosa Spooktacular 2013!!! So, here I am still alive and sharing my first-hand personal experience with this blog post. 


Our horror journey started from Beach Station whereby I did my registration and boarded the Ghost Rider tram that took us to Fort Siloso. Hehe, glad that we missed the first two bus that looks too normal. Brought Missy Tini along with me for this event. After this event, I found out that she is so much braver than I thought, she never screamed at all throughout the trails.  


Arrived at Fort Siloso. Just happened that they've got this black platform for us to stand on. Shu Qing and I looked so small. Lolol~


While waiting for the arrival of the guest-of-honour, Tini spotted something hanging among the trees. 


After zooming in. Remember this "ghost" photo ya, later part of the post will have a photo of how it looks like in the dark.


Star Struck moment! Yay! Affectionately known as Ter for his lead role in Hello Stranger and ATM, both movies I've watched and I've blogged about the movies too, somewhere in my blog.


Mr David Goh, Senior Divisional Director of Sentosa Leisure Management and Mr Yongyoot Thongkongtoon, Senior Director of International Business for GTH giving the opening speech. Their opening speech is more like a fun and casual chat. 

Mr David Goh talks about how he have to raise the standard each year for fans who are constantly seeking a more immersive experience in Sentosa Spooktacular. So in January, he sent an email to the GTH director. Mr Yongyoot Thongkongtoon replied that he actually got the mail in the junk mail. Luckily they've checked and it proves that Sentosa Spooktacular is really a good platform for them to work with. 

  
Cute Pee Mak hairstyle spotted!

The spokespeople and the artistes declaring Sentosa Spooktacular 2013 officially opened!!! Let the horror trail begins! 


A few steps into the main entrance and we were greeted by this video montage of the horror films and countdown. 


This is the "ghost" spotted among the trees when it was still not that dark. It sure looks 10 times scarier when you look at it at night. Makes great profile pic though. I've changed my Whatsapp profile pic to this immediately at the end of the day. Hahaha. Chat with me, if you dare! 


Wondering ghosts! Haha, more for people to take photos with. They don't really go around scaring people too but they are among us. 


Shu Qing and I.


Star struck moment for Tini. Her favourite actor is just next to her!!! Hahaha. 

DORM



Finally, we've reached the first trail - DORM. The best part about Sentosa Spooktacular is that behind every trail, there's a background story of that trail (based on the horror movie) and we are given a so called mission to complete in the trail. 


Haha, while waiting to enter, Missy Tini did this. Supposed to make her look like a ghost or something but, major fail. Oops! 


The Dorm trail is set at Saichon Witthaya School whereby Wichien fell and drown in a well.

We get pass the classroom full of ghosts and our mission is to navigate in the dark maze with only a torchlight, at the end of the trail, we have to recite a chant, "Wichien Rest in Peace!" three times to help the spirit of Wichien to reincarnate. It was really scary walking in the dark maze! We went in a group of 8 and only the first person leading has the torchlight. So we have to hold one another's hand tightly in order not to lose anyone in the maze! 

 BODY


Despite the long queue outside each trail, there would be a big screen TV outside showing the story and part of the movie. While waiting to enter this second trails, there's people dressed up covering their faces roaming around. Good photo opportunity again. So it's not that bored. 


Body is what I felt the longest trail. It's not that much of a scary factor but more that of gruesome and disturbing scenes. I took quite a lot of photos here but most of them are just too disturbing to post up. I'm even contemplating deleting them. This part is when we were walking outdoor around the giant cylinder. I seriously don't dare to look around too much, for fear that I will spot something else. And that cold wind (before that rained) just make us all hastened our pace. 


We even have to go through this narrow passageway with body parts hanging on top of us. Oh gosh!!! 


Scary!!! I wish I could turn back but there's no turning back! :(


Many of us stopped to take photos of this. That baby in jar looks so real can. Omg!! 


The way he screams frighten me.


Our mission here is to lift the curse of Dararai by assembling Dararai's grisly body parts. (gloves not provided)

Haha, the artists seems like having fun while we were like, "Yucks, I don't want to touch that. Must we really assemble the body parts before we can move on?"

SHUTTER


Shutter trail is quite disturbing too. There's lots of very scary photos and there is one stop whereby the clever use of the shutter light was used to create a sort of 3D image. That image will just stay in your brain one ok. This is really mind-blowing. I can't remember what's the mission here as the 3D image keeps flashing in my mind. 


After that, we crossed over this bridge to the next trail. 

PEE MAK


The Pee Mak trail is basically the shortest and least frightening one. 


However, love how they decorated the surrounding to look like the Pee Mak village. Our mission here is to get into the unholy Temple of Dawn and perform a dance ritual (Pee Mak dance) to lay Nak's soul to rest. 

COMING SOON


We all agreed that this is the scariest trail out of the five trails. These one part whereby it was so dark we couldn't even see a thing and we don't even have any torchlight with us. Scary factor 5/5. No joke.

Lastly, presenting the 6 brave ladies! The 6 of us were in the same group and we went through the trails together. Surprised that we can still smile so nicely but actually we were all very shagged. From left to right, Jessie, Shu Qing, Me, Missy Tini, Peishi, Rachell~~ Both Peishi and Rachell look so pretty!! Thanks to the photographer for taking this official photo for us! ^^


Map of Fort Siloso. It's best to follow the sequence of the trail in the manner of how we went. I even have the urge to watch all these five Thai horror movies after the trails. So far, I've only watched Shutter before. 


If you think that watching the movies in the cinema is not scary at all, try to survive in the scenes at Sentosa Spooktacular. Best event I've attended for Halloween ever. Good luck if you are going!!!
