The Museum Of Horrors 2011

21st Oct to 2nd Nov, 2011 ~ For a fortnight, I was a temporary staff of MovieMania manning the front desk for their Museum Of Horrors exhibit held at Scape Mall. It was a rather harrowing, but yet interesting experience dealing with & watching all sort of people passing by me, going into the exhibit. Not used to talking for a prolonged period of time, answering enquiries & sometimes, nonsensical questions. Got the cough, sore throat & lost my voice on the last few days.

Welcome to the Museum Of Horrors!


This was the second time MovieMania organized & operated the Museum Of Horrors, coinciding with Halloween. Compared to the previous year operation, Museum Of Horrors 2011 had more than double the items/sets & was much more intensive. Operation duration was also increased, from 5 to 14 days. Feedbacks received from some patrons deem it way much better than the first try & a number claiming that this year's Museum Of Horrors was better than similar concepts set up by RWS or Sentosa Corp.

What's the Museum Of Horrors? Well, it's something like those haunted house exhibits with static displays, fright devices & scare talents/actors thrown in. For the braver souls, it will be no big deal. However, everyone has different levels of fear or phobia.
Why would people pay money to be frightened? For some, to be terrified & screaming out their fear is like a drug or a stress relief. For a few, it might be admiration for grotesque works of art. For others, it's for want of experiencing something out-of-the-ordinary or exciting in their dull & mundane life. For many, it's Halloween!
During those 2 weeks, I'd seen or heard from the crew, all sort of reactions ranging from irritating/annoying to weird, hilarious & the hysterical. Screamers were quite common. Some were so frightened till they cried or knees turned to jelly, stumped, unable to stand or move. And there were some who had bought tickets, took 2 steps into the exhibit, freaked out & fled, refusing to enter again. Didn't heard of wet pants or urine puddle. Hmmm... should improve on the tactics of the scare talents/actors next year! LOL! =P

Scream!


Are you ready for an experience full of terror, your worst nightmare come true? Be afraid, be very afraid!

The Beauty or The Beast?


Here are some of what were in store for the unwary at the Museum Of Horrors 2011. Most of these were life-size dioramas inspired by horror movies. Due to the operation timing, I have no chance of taking pics with any of the scare talents/actors which was a pity. Anyway, let loose the frights & the tales of gory begin...

On the last day, at the end of the show, everyone who were involved in the Museum Of Horrors gathered for a group photo.

Frightening At Your Service!


My pics can't do justice on how frightening the Museum Of Horrors can be for some people & also, I do not wanna ruin the surprises. We will improve & hopefully, you will be up for it next year!
