Guys… it’s that time of year again. Nights of Fright® 11(NOF11) is back at Sunway Lagoon from Sept 26 to Nov 2, 2025.
If you think you know what to expect, think again. This year is wilder, scarier, and yes… it’s also pink.
Opening Night: Not Your Regular Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
The festival didn’t just open, it made an entrance. A pink hearse rolled in carrying The Puppetmaker and Hantutu (half terrifying, half weirdly cute), while a lone ballerina danced under eerie lights. Then came the moment everyone was waiting for: the Puppetmaker’s Key turned, a giant music box creaked open, and pink fireworks lit up the night sky.
With VIPs walking the Pink Path of Strings before the gates opened, the festival made it clear from the start: this year’s Halloween isn’t holding back.
So, What’s the Theme? We Asked Michelle Soong
Of course, we had to ask Michelle Soong, Assistant GM of Marketing & Business Development at Sunway Theme Parks, what was behind all this madness.
“This year, we’re partnering with Libresse, Poh Kong, and Pop Mart to bring fresh twists to the festival,” Michelle shared.
“Horror isn’t just about whether you believe in ghost stories or not. We wanted to show that horror can be fun, creative, even glamorous, something beyond the usual jump scares.”
So yeah, it’s not just about getting scared. It’s about a whole new way to experience Halloween.
Where Horror Meets Malaysian Stories
But it’s not all pink fireworks and puppets. Michelle explained that this year, local culture and regional folklore play a big role.
“When we look at Malaysian or even ASEAN stories, we see folklore, urban legends, even real-life crime scenes,” she said.
“This year, we’re bringing those into our attractions. For example, our haunted Scarytales Theatre: Pontianaxe stars Nadia Brian in one of Malaysia’s most famous crime stories. It’s something unique, something cultural, and something you won’t find anywhere else.”
So yes, you’ll scream… but you might learn a creepy story or two along the way.
The Attractions: Read This Before You Go
Now let’s talk about what you’re actually walking into. Because trust us, this year’s lineup isn’t playing around.
- The Blind Box (NEW) – Haunted house + giant collectible toy boxes + Hantutu in 3D neon = cute, until it isn’t.
- Fortunes & Freaks (NEW) – A haunted carnival of cursed tarot cards, spider women, and sideshow freaks.
- The Freezer 2: High Voltage (NEW) – Frozen zombies thawed out into chaos. Fire, smoke, screams, all in one place.
- Karak: The Kampong Killers (NEW) – Inspired by the creepiest Malaysian highway legend.
- The Puppetmaker (NEW) – Venice carnival vibes… but haunted. Puppets that don’t stay on their strings.
- Tiki Terror (NEW) – Haunted jungle. Tribal drums. Ancient curses.
- Legends of Horror – Dracula, Frankenstein, mummies, werewolves, and Van Helsing all in one epic showdown.
- Horrorwood Studios – Valak, Annabelle, Silent Hill, Texas Chainsaw… yeah, they’re all here.
- Scarytales Theater: Pontianaxe (NEW) – Real crime meets folklore, starring Nadia Brian as the axe-wielding Pontianak.
And while you’re catching your breath? 13 thrill rides, 3 scare zones, and 2 live show stages are waiting.
Pop-Ups, Food & Weirdly Fun Stuff
But NOF11 isn’t just about heart-pounding horror. Between scares, there’s plenty to keep the night fun:
- Escape of Hantu Kum Kum by Libresse – Haunted ship maze with surprises at every turn.
- Villain Hitting by Poh Kong – A playful twist on the Chinese tradition of smacking away bad luck.
- Pop Mart Photo Ops – Spooky AND Instagrammable? Absolutely.
Oh, and don’t forget the spooky street food and themed merch to take home your nightmares.
Michelle’s Warning
Before we left, Michelle had one last thing to say:
“This year is fresh, bold, and different. Even the theme is pink,” she teased.
“The Puppetmaker will bring nightmares to life in ways you’ve never seen. So come in groups, bring your friends, and make a night of it, you don’t want to miss this.”
