Halloween Horror Nights 5 scare zone - ConTERMINATED / outside Sector 5

Trespassers beware – Sector 5 is an abandoned, ConTERMINATED scare zone at Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights 5.

– Article 163, Section 4

SPOILER WARNING

This post includes photos taken in the ConTERMINATED scare zone. We welcome haunt fans to share their reviews and experiences about this creepy qurantine zone.

Overview and Thoughts

ConTERMINATED is a messy place. It’s a quarantine zone where psychopaths and mutants fight to survive… and it’s also ‘storage’ for props and knic-knacs from past HHN events. The survivors are afflicted with different forms of mutation, but it is not consistent.

It’s hard to outdo last year’s fantastic Bogeyman zone, because that made full use of the odd layout, with twists and turns in its path. There were cleverly-placed items all over to misdirect and stall guests. ConTERMINATED isn’t strong in that aspect this year I’m afraid – and that affects the effectiveness of jump scares drastically. The mess looks intriguing in the day, but at night it is a mysterious, haphazard mess.

Despite its dingy appearance, this scare zone has a straightforward path. I’m not sure if this was done to prevent the capacity and flow problems last year – which were in part a good thing, because guests are hesitant to walk due to the creepiness. At ConTERMINATED, if there isn’t enough theatrical fog, you would be able to see everything clearly due to the amount of lights being projected around. Some may complete a walk around this one-way zone in a minute or less.

The scare actors wear simpler looks that just seem grimy, while some don fully-covered masks, but they all did put up decent performances to redeem this zone. Many have clearly lost their minds. Prepare to be freaked out.

Adjustments
More water effects were added in mid-season. Unfortunately I feel this doesn’t enhance the experience and can instead an annoyance if you walk too slowly!

Condemned to suffer, the diseased and deformed live together in a dangerously contaminated colony, Sector 5. With the rise of the Blood Moon, they have turned aggressive… especially to those who are still safe. Enter the quarantine zone at your own risk!

    Passing through conterminated without seeing any scare actors tonight at around 21.45. Was it their break time?

      If it was last night (23/10): Due to the haze, the park has adjusted the schedule of all performers so that they have shorter sets. So yes, it could be one of those moments.

    Conterminated had a queue of 40 mins when I was there last night (24/10). Has it always had a queue throughout the previous HHN nights? I thought it was a scare zone initially.

      ConTERMINATED, being an enclosed scare zone, has limited capacity. The queue would allow guests to enjoy the scare zone’s atmosphere.
