The Haunted Highlands: East Meets West, Spirits Await!
Genting Highlands, 8 October 2025 – This October, the mountain mist takes on an otherworldly glow as Resorts World Genting presents its most haunting celebration yet. From 10 October to 9 November 2025, Halloween takes over with haunted attractions, eerie encounters, and hair-raising performances that promise to thrill, chill, and delight.
As dusk falls, Gohtong Way awakens with a spellbinding energy. Pumpkins, cobwebs and ghouls mingle with crimson lanterns and fluttering talismans, casting an atmosphere where East meets West in haunting harmony. The journey deepens with every step as guests cross the Bridge of Lost Souls, leading visitors to Meng Po’s cauldron. A sip of her Elixir of Forgetfulness seals their passage through the ominous Gate of the Underworld, marking the threshold between the living and the beyond.
Beyond Gohtong Way’s otherworldly path lies another test of courage. For those daring to take the fear further, the Haunted House awaits. Inside, Crazy 88s Cocktail Den is twisted into a chilling labyrinth where superstition entwines with sorrow. Whispers tell of a wedding that never came to pass, of a vanished bride and a groom whose spirit still roams in sorrow. Armed with only an invitation card, guests must uncover hidden marks within the haunted grounds to reunite the lovers… or risk being mistaken as kin, doomed to wander in darkness forever.
The Haunted House is open from 5pm to 11pm, with last entry at 10 pm. Tickets are priced at RM28 per person and can be purchased at the ticketing kiosks at Gateway Entrance, Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park, Lakeside Market, push cart in front of Trattoria Il Lago, and Sky Hanger & Galaxy Retail Outlet.
Patrolling the streets outside is Bonediddy, the flamboyant skeleton trickster with a crooked grin and riotous energy. Equal parts eerie and entertaining, he turns every corner into a stage of fright and fun, springing surprises on the unsuspecting and posing with those daring enough to meet his gaze.
Meanwhile, the festival grounds transform into a carnival of the uncanny, celebrating the playful spirit of Halloween long into the night. From 5 pm to 11 pm daily, visitors can indulge in an enchanting mix of tricks and treats. Sink your teeth into a Haunted Vampire Beef Burger (RM20) from Classic Burgers, or head to Trattoria Il Lago for a comforting bowl of Spider Web Pumpkin Soup (RM11) paired with the fiery Bloody Hell Spices Mini Drummies Skewer (3 pieces, RM17), a wicked duo sure to warm the soul.
For something heartier, grab a Golden Gate Garage’s Graveyard Sausage (RM17) before quenching your thirst with sinister sips — from the Zombie Bite cocktail (RM38) and eerie Haunted Night cocktail (RM38), to the glowing Halloween Lantern mocktail (RM19 and the mysterious Meng Po Tang (RM19). These chilling concoctions are available across RedTail by Zouk, Empire, Cloud 9, Park Avenue Lounge, and Trattoria Il Lago. Sweet tooths can end the night at The Bakery with Halloween Red Velvet Cupcakes (RM17) and Halloween Chocolate Cupcakes (RM12) — the perfect finale to a delightfully spooky evening.
The Dead Man March-ing parade sweeps through in a riot of music and macabre pageantry, while special Halloween performances turn the streets into a stage of shadows. Festivalgoers can enjoy these haunting spectacles every Thursday to Saturday, each night bringing its own eerie surprises and theatrical flair. Adding to the thrill, roaming characters and towering stilt walkers prowl the grounds every evening, ensuring no two steps feel the same.
Visitors can also indulge in Halloween face painting, capture eerie keepsakes at themed photo booths, and pick up limited edition spooky merchandise from street carts and stalls. For adrenaline seekers, select attractions, including Bigweld’s Zeppelins, Independence Day: Defiance and ESD Global Defender, deliver extra thrills against the backdrop of frightful festivities. The pay-per-ride experiences are open from 6pm till 9pm every Thursday to Saturday. Admission to the celebrations is free, with entry points at SkyAvenue Gateway, Zouk Atrium, Park Avenue Lounge, and Arena of Stars.
This Halloween, dare to step into the Haunted Highlands, where legends, folklore and fright come alive under the mountain skies, and memories linger long after the mist fades.
