Overview and Thoughts
We now have a haunted house that is literally a haunted house disguised as a hotel. It’s also like the staycation story upgraded to a premium class. This time, you get to explore (a few) rooms at the resort, before a sudden change happens halfway, bringing you to an entirely different environment.
The first time I walked through the house, I noted many elements in its design that reminded me of the legendary attraction: Disney’s Haunted Mansion. It’s almost like a secret tribute: The hotel facade’s forced perspective (though the scaling is very exaggerated), the busts that ‘follow’ you, hallway with a vanishing ghost, numerous theatrical scrim effects, pepper’s ghost, how the route eventually brings us ‘outside’ and then ‘underground’, and even the piano motif goes through subtle variations in some rooms.
Houses built at this site always had to work around space constraints and a very narrow layout. There is just not enough space to bring out the Hotel’s supposed grandeur, and the story felt very truncated. There’s still a focus on jumpscares, with many interesting distractions and effects deployed. But I end up leaving the house with a lot of questions about the Sorceress, her powers, and the rituals that happen. And also, the confusing mix of “period” and modern guests – unless some are meant to be ghosts trapped in there, while others are the new victims. It’s puzzling when they seem to appear across scenes, without a pattern.
Hospitality of Horror – Haunted House Photo Tour
Welcome to Hotel Golden Monument, where luxury knows no bounds.
The Hotel originally a mansion built by the region’s richest tycoon, for his favourite wife. For many years, the mansion was left empty and abandoned – no one knows what happened to its owners. Eventually, a developer bought over the mansion, restoring the building and converting it into a luxury hotel.
Now, you are ready for your vacation in one of the mansion’s luxurious rooms… but something tells you that it’s not going to be a tranquil one.
Something feels off at Hotel reception.
You got your keys, so now you just need to get into the elevator, which looks empty but feels very much occupied.
A mysterious, skeletal phantom floats in the hallway in front of you.
It beckons you before phasing through the door, causing the walls around you somewhat flicker – revealing the hotel’s derelict state.
Inside your room, you see the ghostly Sorceress in the flesh, who viciously swipes at you
You turn away and run into the bathroom, where in a flash – you find a victim screaming for help.
You meet another victim in the next room, the walk-in wardrobe.
The Sorceress is close behind, but you discover a door that leads to a hidden passage between rooms.
Here you discover that the mirrors in the hotels are 2-way, allowing someone to spy on guests. But not everyone is actually alive, it seems.
The passageway also appears to lead to a secret hideout, and you have no other option but to explore deeper.
There’s no turning back as you make your way deeper into the utility areas of the hotel.
More victims warn you on what lies ahead, while some are desperately screaming for help.
Through the tunnels, you discover where the Sorceress conducts her rituals.
As the gruesome sights shock you at the courtyard, terrifying ghosts chase you into a tomb.
You dash past a treasure hoard of glittering gold and gems.
Narrowly dodging falling columns, you meet more victims trying to escape from the Sorceress.
The path clears, and just when you start to see light from outside…
The Sorceress reappears, making her last stand to keep you in her mansion forever.
Halloween Horror Nights 10 runs on select nights from 30 Sept to 5 Nov 2022.

Will you be posting up a survival guide anytime soon? Like how to complete all the houses and what not.
There’s no need for a Survival Guide this year because there’s only 3 houses and as long as you maximise your time within the opening hours, it is feasible to complete them all within one visit.
