CEBU CITY — Cebu's biggest Halloween experience returns this October as SCREAM 2026 takes over GMall of Cebu from October 23 to November 8, 2026. The annual horror event promises massive haunted houses, horror mazes, and zombie runs across two floors, offering thrill-seekers a chance to face their fears head-on.
Two Floors, Two Kinds of Screams
The event has grown into a sprawling two-floor horror takeover, with each level designed to deliver a different kind of terror. Guests can choose between the SCREAM Horror Booth for ₱450 and the SCREAM Kids experience for ₱250. Organizers describe the event as one massive Halloween spectacle that caters to both adrenaline-seeking adults and younger participants.
The Horror Booth invites guests to navigate a series of scare zones filled with elaborate sets, costumed performers, and carefully timed jump scares. Each room within the booth is designed to maximize suspense, keeping visitors on edge from the first step until the final exit. The experience is not for the faint of heart, but it has become a beloved tradition for Cebuanos who look forward to the thrill year after year.
A Family-Friendly Option with SCREAM Kids
For families with younger children, SCREAM Kids offers a gentler introduction to the Halloween spirit. The ₱250 ticket provides a scaled-back version of the horror experience, with spooky fun that is age-appropriate and less intense. It allows children to enjoy the festive atmosphere without overwhelming levels of fear.
Organizers have designed SCREAM Kids to be a safe and enjoyable experience for families. The option ensures that the event remains inclusive, welcoming participants of all ages while maintaining separate spaces for different intensity levels. This dual approach has helped SCREAM become a well-rounded Halloween destination for the whole community.
A Halloween Tradition in Cebu
Now in its latest edition, SCREAM has firmly established itself as Cebu's premier Halloween experience. The event draws thousands of visitors each year, including groups of friends, office barkadas, and families who make it an annual tradition. The massive scale of the production, spanning two floors of GMall of Cebu, sets it apart from smaller horror attractions.
The event's success reflects the growing demand for immersive experiences in the Philippines. Halloween enthusiasts increasingly seek interactive frights that go beyond simple haunted houses. SCREAM delivers on that expectation with elaborate storytelling, committed performers, and a production value that rivals international horror attractions.
How to Join the Fear
Tickets are available at the venue, and guests are encouraged to bring friends who screamed with them last year along with those who missed out. The event runs from October 23 to November 8, 2026, giving participants a two-week window to experience the horror.
For the most current ticket availability, schedules, and any changes to the event lineup, checking directly with GMall of Cebu or the official SCREAM social media pages is recommended. Halloween enthusiasts are advised to visit the venue or follow official announcements to ensure they don't miss any updates or additions to the program.
Where Fear Meets Fun
SCREAM 2026 continues to raise the bar for Halloween celebrations in the Visayas. Whether you are a seasoned horror fan or a curious first-timer, the event offers an unforgettable journey into the spooky side of Cebu. The organizers invite everyone to let out their loudest screams and embrace the thrill of the season.
