Opening Scaremony Show – Halloween Horror Nights 7

Halloween Horror Nights 7 Opening Scaremony GALA PREMIERE of the 7 SINisters

Relive the moments from the gala premiere of 7 SINisters, the horror blockbuster of the season! Are you ready for the fright of your afterlife?

Halloween Horror Nights 7 Opening Scaremony - Setting up the red carpet

Overview and Thoughts

Unlike other Universal theme parks, USS has always staged elaborate shows to kickstart their HHN event nights. This year’s opening act offers guests the red carpet experience. Film stars strutting down Hollywood Boulevard in USS isn’t entirely new or fabricated – in fact the Singapore park has indeed hosted some international premieres here.

In this show, the park is hosting the gala premiere for the fictitious film, 7 SINisters. In 2030, the Illuminati funded a secret programme to develop 7 superhuman killers to overthrow the world’s governments. Each Sinister has a specific ‘strain of evil’ that goes along with their abilities. Something goes wrong with the programme, and of course, things take a sinister turn (in the movie, and at the premiere).

This Opening act is an ambitious show that is designed and executed well – though the red carpet setup is probably a nightly horror for the events crew. Narrative wise, I still find that there’s some plot holes/ logical fallacies with the whole 7 Sinisters movie, the 7 Deadlier Sins, and The Sinisters, but let’s suspend our disbelief and enjoy the show.

The Opening Scaremony is performed at Hollywood Boulevard at around 7:20-7:30pm. Arrive early at the park gates to get a good spot!

Due to alternating cast arrangements, both groups of cast members are intentionally featured in all videos and photos.
