How did your Halloween go? Guangzhou’s Chimelong Paradise made sure you won’t sleep easy tonight 😭💀. This year’s event ditched the usual pumpkins for full-on Chinese horror aesthetics — ghost brides drifting through fog, paper talismans fluttering, and Taoist priests “exorcising” tourists between neon lights and laser beams.

The park set up 10 haunted zones, from a creepy puppet theatre to a mirror maze straight out of your nightmares. NPC “ghosts” chased guests around while Chinese myth met tech with projection mapping and eerie soundscapes — turning the whole park into a live horror movie 💡👻

Our clips from last night show why everyone called it the scariest Halloween in China this year — blending traditional Chinese horror with Halloween spirit 🎃

Would you survive this kind of Halloween, or just wear the “safe mode” wristband and pray for daylight? 😭💁‍♀️
