All Hallows Eve, which has evolved over the centuries to become Halloween, has been embraced locally as a time to dress up, have fun and eat sweet treats. Commercially a single night has become a season, and there’s no better example of this than Ocean Park where it’s Halloween Fest is a 7 week branding bonanza for sponsors stretching from 15 September to 31 October.

The theme this year is the SAW movie franchise with an added twist of Kowloon Ghost City and a dash of the Mexican Festival of Souls to spice up the party.

As well as some spooky rides, there’s also a selection of edible delights as the Ocean Park chefs have gone all out to stimulate your senses. At Neptune’s Restaurant and Tuxedos Restaurant  SAW-themed dishes are the terror of the day with ‘blood’ dripping from a cutter blade that has just pierced through a ‘human brain’ (Poached Shrimp Ravioli with Truffle Cream and Tomato Sauce) or see the Jigsaw Killer’s proxy Billy the puppet floating on the red sea of Bell Pepper and Tomato Soup.

So grab a few friends, set aside your cynicism and have a little fun. Entry prices have jumped (from $345 in 2015) to $538 this year, but nothing these days is ever that simple and there are almost as many discounted entry tickets, passes and ways avoid queues as there days in the Halloween Fest, take a look at their website to see how to save www.oceanpark.com.hk
