Although Halloween is unquestionably present in Singapore, it has had to make a few adaptations to fit in with the country’s culture and environment. The following list highlights some of Singapore’s most distinctive Halloween traditions.
You will see a lot of plastic Jack-o-lanterns because, to start with, carving pumpkins is pricey and difficult to get. Some supermarket shops import them during this time of year if you are in dire need of a real carving pumpkin.
Second, while costumes have become increasingly popular, trick-or-treating hasn’t fully taken off on a wide scale. Additionally, there is a strong propensity to dress up like cartoon characters and TV personalities.
Third, a lot of events are organized by eateries, resorts, and places associated with popular culture, such as Universal Studios. For instance, major participants in the business world host pumpkin runs, Halloween buffets, horror stores, community events, and more. Here, less emphasis is placed on domestic festivities and fanfare.
