This immersive horror series has a brand-new, heart-pounding experience that draws inspiration from some of Malaysia's oldest performing arts.

At Hauntu The Curve, you'll be transported to the enchanting Sultanate era, where you'll take on the roles to embark on a daring quest to find your long-lost mother. Along the way, you'll stumble upon a mysterious note that leads you to the enigmatic Seri Panggung Academy.

Get ready for spine-tingling revelations and face a truly terrifying presence, all while being immersed in a uniquely Malaysian narrative that weaves in the rich traditions of kuda kepang, wayang kulit, and the captivating allure of traditional Malay performances and attire, especially the mesmerising Mak Yong ensembles.

This 60-minute immersive experience brilliantly combines creative storytelling, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous engineering to deliver an authentic theatrical fright-fest that pays homage to Malaysia's vibrant cultural heritage by blending tradition with innovation.

But that's not all!

So, picture yourself in a darkened space, where the wayang kulit tales and the haunting gamelan rhythms become an entirely new kind of thrill for all you adrenaline junkies out there.

What makes this experience even more special is the collaboration with local cultural organisations and traditional arts experts, including Pusaka, who ensured authenticity and a deep appreciation for Malaysia's traditional legacy. In fact, Pusaka even contributed costume accessories crafted by one of its artisan communities in Kelantan.

Hauntu made its debut in 2018 at The LINC KL, offering a haunted house experience set in a decaying old hotel dating back to the colonial era of the 1950s.
