Ocean Park is a scream This year’s annual Halloween Bash at Ocean Park plunders the fashion runway for inspiration for its Hauntingly Hip theme. That translates into eight haunted houses including one with 5-D technology (we don’t know what that means but we like the sound of it), 14 street shows and 500 ghouls wandering the park at 24 event nights in the run up to October 31. “Ocean Park is the Halloween capital, much like Milan and Paris are fashion capitals,” says fashion designer Wyman Wong, who is designing creepy-chic outfits for the wandering players. “I am honoured to be the first local fashionista to collaborate with the park.” New this year are Halloween Bash Lite night tickets ($180-$210 for adults, $90-$105 for
children), which are 35 per cent cheaper than the standard night ticket, and aimed at guests who want to soak up the atmosphere without entering the haunted houses. For details, visit www.halloweenbash.com.hk, 2552 0291. Scream Corner If terrifying adventures are your thing, get along to Madame Tussauds. There will be freaky face painting and fun face stickers, but the main event is the Scream Corner, about which Tussauds is remaining tight-lipped. If it’s anything like last year, watch out for random frights as you journey down dark corridors past coffins and corpses. Open until October 31, 2.30pm-9pm, Tickets are $160/adult, $90/child and senior citizens from www.madametussauds.com, 2849 6966.
“Did we miss anything?” The most important thing to me? Is to have a smooth and worry-free relocation “In some of my other experiences, relocation companies do not always understand the stresses and strains of moving. My experience with Crown was great, and I must say that of all the aspects of this relocation, dealing with Crown was actually the easiest thing I did. Thank you again for the help.” ~Taipei to Hong Kong
