Until Dec 11; weekdays 10am, weekends and public holidays 11am & 2pm at KC Arts Centre – Home of SRT. $25-$48.
Just in time for Halloween weekend, the famous horror tale creeps onto the stage at Resorts World Sentosa. It’s a production by a UK theatre company, but you’ll be happy (terrified?) to hear that local actress/singer Narelle Kheng plays Lucy in this adaptation.

Until Nov 6; Tues-Sat 8pm, Sat & Sun 3pm at Esplanade Theatre. $58-$158.
Head over to the historic building for a marketplace filled with local creations and crafts.
Until Oct 30; 6pm-10.30pm at CHIJMES, 30 Victoria St. Free.
Scare the crap out of yourself at this rooftop screening of horror flick, Oculus.

Last Weeks with Rochor: A Photo Exhibition
Before the 39-year-old Rochor Centre closes for good, walk down memory lane at this nostalgic photo exhibition, where residents from all walks of life will be present to engage the public with tales of the beloved heartland estate.
Until Oct 30; 4pm-10pm at L1, Open Space Walkway, Rochor Centre, 1 Rochor Rd. Free.
Catch a glimpse into the world of Marvel’s The Avengers at the Science Centre’s kid-friendly exhibit, where you’ll get to browse through intelligence files, classified studies and experiments on the history and scientific origins of the superhero team.
Until Mar 5, 2017; daily 10am-6pm at Science Centre Singapore, 15 Science Centre Rd. $18-$30.
Embark on a nightmare tour of the ‘abandoned hotel’, pop by the ‘bloody butcher shop’ to feast your eyes on a horrific massacre, or walk with the undead on ‘Clarke street’ — it’s all in the spirit of Halloween, of course. Also look out for stage games, DJ performances, a pop-up bar and face-painting activities.
8pm-midnight at Clarke Quay Central Fountain Square. Free.
In honour of Deepavali, this is the second last time the railway station will open its doors this year before it closes for renovation works. Fun stuff include a farmers’ market, exhibitions, talks, workshops and a storytelling session. Not-so-fun stuff include the massive crowds that will surely descend upon the historic landmark.
9am-6pm at the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, 30 Keppel Rd. Free.
Singapore and Japan celebrates 50 years of friendship with a family-friendly festival in town that features dance performances, Japanese festival games, Japanese food stalls and lots more.
