October 2025’s Hottest Events for Couples (and Almost-Couples)

Fast cars, bright lanterns, and a dash of Halloween fear - October in Singapore is anything but dull. Whether you’re racing to catch the Formula 1 action, braving haunted houses hand-in-hand, or soaking in the glow of Mid-Autumn festivities, this month promises variety at every turn. Add concerts, art fairs, and even a Minions-themed run into the mix, and your October dates are sorted.

Scream Together, Stay Together: A Date at Halloween Horror Nights 13

Brace yourselves: Halloween Horror Nights is back with its 13th and scariest edition yet — four haunted houses, two scare zones, and enough jump scares to make you cling onto your date all night. Brave Vecna’s lair from Stranger Things, confront demons in Death Whisperer, or wander through Singapore’s very own “Most Haunted” house, then keep the adrenaline going with thrilling rides, twisted live shows, and a haunting Blumhouse projection mapping. Refuel with spooky-themed bites (yes, some with actual maggots) and snap a pic with M3GAN mid-dance. If your idea of romance is screaming together in unison, this one’s got your name on it.
