Netflix's ‘Stranger Things' Revisits Universal Studios Singapore's Halloween Horror Nights 13
Taking place from 26 September to 1 November, Halloween Horror Nights 13 is set for 18 nights of frights, with the Stranger Things-inspired attraction leading the charge. It will feature iconic locations from the acclaimed Netflix series, including the shadowy halls of Hawkins National Laboratory, Vecna's blood-red mind lair, and Starcourt Mall, alongside familiar abominations like the Mind Flayer and Demodogs.
The themed installation marks Universal Studios Singapore's fourth collaboration with Netflix, following haunted houses modelled after Korean global hits Sweet Home and All of Us Are Dead for Halloween Horror Nights 12 and 11, respectively, as well as the first Stranger Things experience.
Joining the flagship experience are Singapore's Most Haunted: Build to Horror, focusing on unsuspecting residents living on a burial ground for unclaimed bodies who are possessed by a demonic sinseh; The Realm of Yokai scare zone, which puts spirits, demons, and forgotten creatures from Japanese folklore front and centre; and the FEARground scare zone that adds a nightmarish touch to carnival and circus acts.
Two brand-new live shows are also due to make their debut: Dare or Die Live!, described as a 'chaotic spectacle [that is] equal parts horror gameshow and deranged fears of fear, and Once Upon a Time…to Die, centring on the mutilated master of time, Mr Rabid and his plan to steal life-altering items from innocent fairytale legends.
'Time is the greatest enemy and survival is simply an illusion,' reads the official description for Halloween Horror Nights 13. 'As the seconds creep towards the cursed 13th hour, fans will confront a multiverse of terror in haunted houses, scare zones, live shows, and an immersive bar experience. With every tick, a new hellscape emerges. With every tock, demons creep closer to claim new souls.'
Admission starts at S$58 for non-peak nights and S$68 for peak nights, with early bird tickets going on sale from 13 July for a limited time on the Resorts World Sentosa website and official ticketing partner Klook. Guests who purchase the newly launched Universal Studios Singapore Season Pass can enjoy exclusive offers on select tickets, which must be purchased separately, and unlimited entry to the premises for six months as part of a larger celebration of the country's 60th birthday.
More information about the remaining haunted house experiences will be revealed on the event page. As for Stranger Things, the fifth and final season is scheduled for a three-part release: the first four episodes on 26 November, another three on Christmas Day, and the finale on New Year's Eve.

Netflix Adapting ‘Solo Leveling' Manhwa Into Korean Live-Action Series
Everyone's favourite E-rank Hunter is about to come to life, as Netflix has announced the production of a Korean live-action series adaptation for Solo Leveling, with rising star Byeon Woo-seok set to portray its protagonist Sung Jin-woo. Announced via a post on its website, the Netflix adaptation will be co-directed by Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo, known for films like Ashfall, My Dictator and Cold Eyes. The series will be produced by Kakao Entertainment and SANAI PICTURES. Byeon Woo-seok (Source: Wireimage) Byeon, one of Korea's most sought-after young actors in recent years, has long been a fan-cast for the role of Sung Jin-woo. Known for his appearances in 2024's Lovely Runner and 2022's 20th Century Girl, the actor had previously garnered the nickname 'straight out of a manhwa', which made him a fitting choice to embody Jin-woo's evolution in the show, according to Netflix. The live-action adaptation is set to follow the same storyline as the manhwa (webtoon), with Netflix's description reading: 'Solo Leveling follows Sung Jin-woo, an E-rank Hunter — the lowest tier — who gains extraordinary abilities after a near-death experience. As he levels up, he becomes humanity's unexpected hope, defending against monstrous threats emerging from beyond the mysterious Gates.' This series is based on the record-breaking manhwa of the same name, which has amassed 14.3 billion cumulative views worldwide since its KakaoPage debut in 2023. In 2024, the IP received an anime adaptation, which garnered massive success over the course of its two current seasons, making history as the first Korean IP-based series to dominate the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, where it clinched nine trophies, including Anime of the Year, Best Action and Best Character. Although additional casting details or a release window has yet to be announced, Netflix's Solo Leveling live-action adaptation promises 'vivid characters, dynamic action sequences, and exhilarating quests, brought to life by a world-class global VFX team', and will 'introduce viewers to fantastical dungeons and uniquely powerful monsters, setting a new standard for live-action adaptations.'

'Squid Game' Season 3 Breaks Netflix Viewership Record
Within a mere 10 days, Squid Game Season 3 has amassed a total of 106.3 million views, becoming the first Netflix series, in any language, to achieve that in two weeks. This was after the popular Korean show jumped onto the streaming platform's list of most popular non-English series of all time in the 9th position, thanks to a whopping 60.1 million views garnered in just three days from its opening. As of this article, it has leapt up to the 3rd position, outranked only by its own earlier seasons. Top 10 Most Popular Non-English Shows of All Time Even factoring in Netflix's English-language shows, Squid Game Season 3's ranking is still outstanding, losing out only to Wednesday Season 1 (2022) with 252.1 million views, Adolescence (2025) with 142.6 million views, Stranger Things Season 4 (2016) with 140.7 million views, Dahmer: Monster (2022) with 115.6 million views, Bridgerton Season 1 (2020) with 113.3 million views and The Queen's Gambit (2020) with 112.8 million views, all of which had 91 days to attain those totals. Taking the time window into consideration, Squid Game Season 3 is highly likely to climb a few more ranks, given that it still has an ample 81 days before the viewership numbers are finalised. Top 10 Most Popular Shows of All Time The release of Squid Game Season 3 also brought positive externalities to its earlier two seasons, with Squid Game Season 2 (2024) and Squid Game Season 1 (2021) amassing 4.9 million views and 3.8 million views, respectively, within the period from 30 June to 6 July. With Squid Game Season 3 clocking in 46.3 million views within the same period, it has become the highest-viewed Netflix title for the week, with its two earlier seasons coming in at second and third place on the non-English chart. Top 10 Non-English Shows of the Week The second place for the highest-viewed Netflix title of the week goes to The Old Guard 2 , starring Charlize Theron ( Mad Max: Fury Road ) and Uma Thurman ( Kill Bill Vol. 1 ), which accumulated 37.5 million views. The film's release also drew attention to its predecessor, The Old Guard (2020), which garnered 9.5 million views in the same week. Top 10 Movies of the Week Meanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters also charted in third place for the highest-viewed Netflix title of the week, with 22.7 million views. This led it to rank second on the English movies chart as well for its second consecutive week. Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close. Netflix Squid Game Squid Game Season 3
