October is a time for spooky scary skeletons and shivers up your spine, and for adrenaline seekers and horror fans, many places have started creating an immersive event to get people in the mood for the season.
Of course, some people would for example venture to the sunny isle of Sentosa for their Halloween needs, thanks to the success of the annual Halloween Horror Nights hosted at Universal Studios Singapore.?
However, for those who do not want to go all the way down south due to the heat, exorbitant ticket prices, and the general hell that is people, horror can be brought to you at your convenienc – right at your door step.
Literally.
Hell Hous(ing Development Board Block)
Creative residents at an unnamed Housing Development Board (HDB) block of flats have decided to go the creative route of creating an immersive experience of garish, gory horror along a 27th floor corridor that leads to one particular unit.
A video of the decor was uploaded to Reddit that showed the full splendor, with fake dismembered limbs, knives, meat hooks, spiders, and red stains on pieces of cloth meant to mimic splashes of blood all over the floors and walls.
The video, captioned, ‘HDB Halloween celebration’, was uploaded by Redditor PhotographOld5934, and starts with footage of a HDB lift glitching, much like every horror movie.
The lift display speeds up and stops at the 27th floor, where the lift doors open to reveal a corridor filled with extensive gore littering the floors.
The video has since been taken down.
The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Response to the decor online however have been decidedly mixed.?
While some netizens appreciated the gesture to celebrate the spooky season, many others have questioned if the decorations in question were appropriate or even allowed.
This stemmed from the worry that the dangling decorations and props would be an obstruction to those who may need a clear path to escape or move around, be it from fire, emergency services or killer clowns chasing after victims.?
Netizens also commented that complaints could incite the local Town Council to come down and order the residents in question to take them down, citing a recent case of a structure meant to mimic a sauna spotted on an HDB corridor in Serangoon that was later dismantled.?
HDB regulations cite that access corridors must remain clear and unobstructed to ensure safety for all residents.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) fire safety guidelines also show that a clear path of minimum of 1.2m has to be maintained along a common corridor.
