The horror lights are on, and the camera is rolling. Fright Nights 8: Phantasmagoria is back, transforming MOTIONGATE™ Dubai into a sprawling, twisted film set for the entire month of October. Orchestrated by the cursed director Evil M. Reel, this is the region’s biggest, most adrenaline-fueled Halloween event. Get ready for a high-energy spectacle where movie scares and family fun collide in the heart of Dubai.
For thrill-seekers, the heart of this month-long Halloween takeover lies in the four terrifying interactive mazes and experiences, turning cult classics into physical nightmares. You can test your nerve in the chilling SAW Maze, dragging visitors straight into the brutal puzzles of the notorious film franchise. Or, immerse yourself in The Strangers Interactive Experience, recreating the cult classic where masked intruders stalk every corner, ensuring you never feel safe. For those who prefer myth and history, navigate The Mummy Maze, resurrecting an ancient curse through five dark chambers, or take the train into The Tale of La Llorona, where the weeping woman’s cries haunt your every move.
The cinematic terror extends to the live entertainment. At the Hollywood Theatre, Phantasmagoria is a chilling live show hosted by Evil M. Reel himself. It blends illusion, dance, and specialty acts, reviving eerie old-world horror storytelling with a modern, high-tech twist. Later, as night settles, the streets erupt with the Fright Nights Parade, a perfect, high-octane crescendo where zombies, ghouls, and horror characters storm the streets with stunts and dance. You can also brave the chaos of over 29+ classic rides, like the apocalyptic Zombieland Blast-Off, which crank up the thrill factor after dark.
MOTIONGATE™ Dubai ensures that the scares are balanced with plenty of lighthearted fun for younger guests. The park cleverly softens the horror for little ghouls and goblins with dedicated zones and shows. At Studio Central, the Check-in Terror street show features hotel-themed zombie characters who entertain rather than frighten, offering great photo opportunities. Just around the corner, the Bone Yard Boogie features a lively Halloween-themed boy band with dance routines and a high-energy singalong that gets the whole family moving.
Over at Smurf Village Playhouse, kids can join the Smurfs for a special Halloween dance, spooky tale reading, and a candy grab. The Hotel Transylvania Mania also ensures plenty of comedy, music, and photo ops with favorite monsters. It’s an inclusive approach that truly makes Fright Nights 8 the ultimate October event for everyone.
This October, MOTIONGATE™ Dubai is the only place to experience the perfect blend of cinematic frights and family delight. From terrifying mazes to high-energy parades, this is the ultimate Halloween spectacle the region has been waiting for.
