Ocean Park Halloween Fest 2014
The Ocean Park Halloween Fest in Hong Kong Ocean Park has been one of the best places to celebrate this western festival in Hong Kong. Ocean Park’s annual Halloween Fest has been very popular among young adults. As a result it reached a level of not only be legendary, but also became an institution itself. In previous years, Ocean Park managed to find first-class collaboration (e.g. Wyman Wong in 2012). This collaboration took Halloween celebrations to a completely new level.
Highlights of the Ocean Park Halloween Fest 2014
This year, Ocean Park invited movie director Juno Mak to design the Ocean Park Halloween Fest 2014. Maybe you are not familiar with Juno Mak. However, maybe you know his blockbuster Rigor Mortis which won the Best Visual Effects at the Hong Kong Film Awards. You can be assured that his design will bring some terrifying ambience. Furthermore, nine unique experiences at seven haunted attractions wait to be discovered and explored. This includes some of the movie’s most iconic scenes such as Room 2442, vampire making at Auntie Mui’s home, vampire hunter having dinner with spirits and the grim corridor. But wait. There is even more to come. Over 30 actors perform ghosts, ghouls and other characters from the movie. Popular characters include Auntie Mui, the ghastly twin sisters, Celestial Master Yau and the security guard Uncle Yin.
