Fearphobia Scream Park at Westfield Helensvale
If you’re a fan of ghouls, scary movies, terrifying characters and dark walks through spooky towns, then it seems we are approaching your favourite time of year. With Halloween on the horizon, the frightening folk at Fearaphobia Scream Park are preparing to scare your socks off with 12 nights of scream-inducing action. Based on the USA’s hugely-popular scare attractions, Fearaphobia sees more than 150 actors bring five scary attractions to life over 12 terror-ific fright nights. Attractions include Immortal, Asylum, Darkness, Slaughterhouse 13 and new maze Beserk. Your ticket will allow you to meet and greet the not-so-friendly ghosts and ghouls as you pass between the attractions in a truly atmospheric and hair-raising setting. As well as the five haunted attractions, the park will be full of other Halloween entertainment to whet your appetite and get you into the spirit of things. Tickets are available to purchase via the Fearphobia website, and attendees are encouraged to dress up in the running for the ‘best worst dressed individual’ each night.
Spooky Putt Putt at Victoria Park
The creatures of the Putt Putt course are back from the dead for Spooky Putt Putt! Be sure to proceed with caution as you head onto their fairways filled with spooks galore. Tee off your spook-tacular adventure by puttin’ through Broken Bones Boulevard where you might just come across some bone-chilling surprises! Then, brave the toxic waste barrels as you mingle with the friendly neighbourhood zombies. It’s a graveyard smash. Beware! As you stroll down Carn-Evil, you might hear the menacing sounds of cackling clowns. As you swing through our ghoulishly crafted holes, you’ll encounter more tricks and treats than you can shake a broomstick at. Watch out for the scary squash, creepy crawlers, wicked witches, and other boo-tiful surprises along the way. All that swinging will surely make you thirsty – luckily the course is licensed, so you can order spirited sips like boo-zee slushies (spiked with Altos tequila) to be delivered while you and your gaggle of ghouls putt your way through this creepy course. Online bookings for this frightfully good time are essential. Nab your tickets at the Victoria Park website.

There are a bunch of spooktacular horror films, from cult classics to modern must-sees, taking over every theatre in the building all at once. Rush the candy bar and settle in for a screening of horror favourites like Halloween, Cure, The Exorcist, House (Hausu) and The Night of the Living Dead. Plus, horror-movie ticket holders wearing a Halloween costume will receive a free medium popcorn! Book your tickets at the Dendy Cinemas website.
