8. Fright Night at Asian Civilisations Museum: ACM After Dark

Over the past few years, Halloween has been welcomed through the doors of an uncanny location – the Asian Civilisations Museum. While this year’s event has not been confirmed, this will be something you’d want to keep your eyes peeled for.
