Be Ready on the Day - Trick-or-treaters will start visiting from 5pm on Halloween evening. Here's what to expect:
- Kids will ring the bell or knock, shout “Trick or treat!”, and wait excitedly for their candy
- Simply open the door and give out some treats — that's it!
- Not going to be home? No problem — just leave a basket of candy outside your door with a small sign so the kids know to help themselves
Photo Booth and Ghost Hunt
New this year: open our Photo Booth and Ghost Hunt on your phone. Take photos with a Halloween frame, or hunt for ghosts hiding around the neighbourhood and snap a picture with them.
Decorating
Feel free to decorate your door or unit — spiderwebs, pumpkins, lights, the works! It's totally optional, but it adds so much to the atmosphere and the kids love spotting the spookiest (or cutest) doors on the route.
Some common Halloween icons include:
- Pumpkins
- Spiders and Cobwebs
- Bats
- Skeletons
Some common Halloween Colors include:
- Orange
- Purple
- Black

Costumes
Get dressed up! Kids and adults!
Whether it's a superhero, a witch, a dinosaur, or a ghost, costumes are what make the night so much fun. The more creative, the better!
Say Hello
Halloween is also about neighbours connecting with neighbours. When you spot fellow trick-or-treaters in the lift lobby or corridor, say hi and give a big “Happy Halloween!” It's a great chance to meet families you might not run into otherwise.
A Brief History of Halloween
Halloween's origins trace back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off wandering spirits as summer turned to winter. Centuries later, the Christian church established All Saints' Day on November 1st, and the night before, All Hallows' Eve, gradually became known as Halloween, blending old pagan customs with newer religious ones.
Over time, and especially through Irish immigration to the United States, Halloween evolved into the holiday we recognize today including costumes, jack-o'-lanterns, and trick-or-treating for candy. In recent decades, it's spread well beyond its European and American roots, becoming a fun, cross-cultural celebration embraced in cities all over the world, including right here in Singapore, where neighbourhoods like ours have built our own local trick-or-treat traditions.
