Let's feel a bit scary this Halloween

SHANGHAI: It's Halloween, folks and time to get away from the monotony and pressure of everyday work to embrace the fun recipes of Jack O'Lantern.

And to have the best of times, welcome to an eerie new home in an old warehouse along Suzhou Creek in Shanghai. Things here go bump at night, and decapitated ghouls and Nosferatu float around in creepy darkness. It's a night full of shrieks in a house full of hair-raising, heart-throbbing creatures and gadgets.

Shanghai Nightmare, the first American-style haunted house in China, has received more than 10,000 visitors since it opened five weeks ago. Co-founder Gan Quan said recently that it had received 800 guests a day (nay, night) twice the number it had expected and planned for.
