The Puppeteer Returns: Bigger, darker, and more theatrical
VIPs and special guests from Sunway University, Monash University, and Sunway Theme Parks come together to commemorate the tri-campus collaboration for NOF 11’s exclusive campus preview.
Sunway Lagoon’s iconic Nights of Fright is back and it’s more horrifying than ever. This year, the Puppeteer takes control, unveiling a theatrical nightmare featuring 8 haunted houses, 1 haunted theatre, 3 scare zones, 11 thrill rides, and 3 live show stages.
Running every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 26 September to 2 November 2025, 7.30 P.M. to 11.30 P.M., NOF 11 transforms Sunway Lagoon into a macabre realm of shadows, screams and sinister performances, where the Puppeteer’s creations lurk at every corner.

Step Into the Puppeteer’s World of Nightmares
This year, the Puppeteer pulls the strings, inviting you into a workshop where lifeless marionettes whisper secrets, and every shadow hides something waiting to move. But the Puppeteer is never alone.
From the eerie glamour of Horrorwood, where cinematic nightmares come alive, to the dark legends of Karak – The Kampong Killers, each path twists into unexpected terror. Venture too far, and you might find yourself trapped in tales of PontianAxe, a haunting theatre where stories are told in screams rather than words.
There are places you know you should avoid, but you just can’t help yourself. Step into the Blind Box experience, where eerie encounters and unexpected creatures lurk around every corner.
Dare to explore them all, but remember, the Puppeteer is always watching, waiting to pull you deeper into his tangled web. Once you enter his world, you’ll never walk out the same way.
Join the Puppeteer’s Stage
Tickets are available now on the Sunway Super App (SSA), online travel agencies (OTAs), and the Sunway Lagoon website.
