This Halloween, we're making fear fun and giving you every reason to face it head on.
"Face Your Fears" this Halloween, step inside Science Café at Science Centre Singapore for an evening of mind-expanding science, sustainable culinary tasting, and an exclusive film preview.
Get up close and personal with live creepy crawlies and find out why they might just be the future of food, then pull back the curtain on horror filmmaking before an exclusive first preview of INSANITY, a short horror film shot right here in our very own Science Centre!
Join us for an exciting lineup of guest speakers who bring science, horror, and culinary innovation together on stage:
Insects on Your Plate with Hiew Yuen Sheng, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Altimate Nutrition Pte Ltd, will share an intriguing talk explaining why edible insects belong on your dinner plate rather than just in your nightmares. If you are still not convinced, you can step up to the Bug Bar afterward to challenge your taste buds and try these innovative, sustainable snacks for yourself.
The Science of Horror & Behind-the-Scenes of INSANITY with Lydia Konig, Assistant Manager of Transmedia at Science Centre Singapore and filmmaker behind INSANITY, takes you deep behind the scenes of this original short horror film shot directly within the Science Centre premises. Discover the psychological and sensory science engineered into every scare, and be among the very first to experience the film during an exclusive preview screening inside the Omni-Theatre dome.
