The Shanghai Happy Valley is ready to scare all visitors in the Halloween season with eight newly constructed "haunted houses," nine ghost-themed shows and 300 ghostly figures wandering around the park, set to test visitors' courage.

The haunted houses will be themed on different scary stories such as ghosts seeking revenge on the night of marriage, evil magicians wandering in the park and killing people randomly, and ghostly theaters haunting visitors.

In addition, there are nine ghost-themed areas where "vampires, zombies and ghosts" are waiting to welcome anyone stepping in during the 33-day Halloween carnival.

Visitors can get free "ghost" makeup at the park.

Parents with small children can have fun in the season as well, as the park has been turned into a world of pumpkins. A dreamlike candy house will catch kids' attention and they will be given candy by "cartoon figures" at the house. Clowns will play games with children and magicians will do tricks for them. There will also be Halloween pumpkin parties and pumpkin-themed parades.

The Halloween celebration at the park started on October 10 and will last 33 days till November 11.

The first 100 visitors who come to the park after 5:30pm when its night session starts and dress up the most like ghosts will enjoy free admission.

Opening hours: 5:30-10pm

Admission: 60 yuan, Monday-Thursday; 90 yuan, Friday-Sunday
