Who says Halloween is only for kids? This spooky holiday can be enjoyed by everybody.

While you might be a little too old for trick or treat (maybe), you’re never too old to dress up. Halloween is the perfect night to indulge your dreams of living in a fairytale land…or turning into something from someone’s worst nightmare.

If you’re ready to party like a real grown-up should, here are some places you can go to fill your Halloween night with thrills and chills.

Halloween Horror House

If you enjoyed the movie IT and still get a little thrill when you think of Sadako in The Ring, then you will surely get hyped for the Halloween Horror House. The wildest horror maze in Manila features “Asian Horror Stories” this year. It’s going to be at the One Esplanade, Mall of Asia from October 29 to November 01, 2017. For P900, guests get an unlimited pass to Horror House Maze, access to Park and an HHH shirt. For P500, guests get a single entry to the maze and park.

Entrance is at P600 and P2,100 if you’re up for some magical dinner…but, if you’re a REAL Potter fan you’re going to want to take the Complete Harry Potter Experience at P4,000 for both days.
