SCREAM Halloween Party, Sunway Lagoon




SCREAM! Halloween Party in Sunway Lagoon's Elephant Walk on 31st October was a blast! Thanks to Gerald (drummer of the band - Beat the System) for giving invitations to Spirits of Music to attend the biggest Halloween party ever in Malaysia!

The event successfully attracted over 1000 crowd and it was surprising to see how supportive Malaysians were towards such event since this is the first time it was organized. Lots of people actually took a great deal of effort to dress up as ghosts (or whatever it is) and walked around scaring people.

There were a few booths by the side of the lake, including Southern Comfort, the sponsored drink for SCREAM.

Overall the event was fantastic and the crowd was remarkable! People who attended the party were incredibly friendly and everyone just mixed around regardless race and age. However, the only flaw for the event is that the bands were playing on top on the tower, which was not visible to the crowd. Therefore, the crowd can only see the vocalist, bassist and guitarist of the band, the drummer was out of the view. So it’s a bit like listening to CDs instead of live because you can’t actually see the bands performing in front of you.
