Sentosa hosts Halloween films at Fort Siloso from 24 October

Sentosa hosts the Halloween edition of Movies by the Beach at Fort Siloso from 24 October to 1 November 2026, bringing outdoor cinema to the historic site. The programme is organised by Sentosa Development Corporation and forms part of a wider entertainment series on the island.

Four films move Movies by the Beach to Fort Siloso

The Fort Siloso programme begins with Night at the Museum on 24 October 2026. Dora and the Lost City of Gold follows on 25 October, while Happy Death Day is scheduled for 31 October and Happy Death Day 2U closes the run on 1 November.

The screenings take place on Saturdays and Sundays at 7.30pm beside the Surrender Chambers. The organiser lists free entry and no pre-booking, although the outdoor event may be cancelled in wet weather. The official Halloween programme also describes a self-guided walk through Tunnel B and its casemate alongside the films.

Fort Siloso links wartime history with the screenings

Fort Siloso is Singapore’s only preserved coastal fort and stands at Siloso Point on Sentosa. The British built it in 1878 as part of the island’s coastal defences, and the fort later played a role during the Battle for Singapore in February 1942.

The venue gives the film series a setting unlike the earlier Palawan Kidz City Roof Garden dates. Visitors attending the 24 October screening can therefore pair a family film with a site containing artillery positions, underground complexes and the Surrender Chambers. Fort Siloso was gazetted as Singapore’s 74th National Monument in 2022, according to the National Heritage Board’s Fort Siloso record.

From Beach Station to the historic outdoor cinema

The Halloween edition changes the practical focus of Movies by the Beach from Palawan to the western end of the island. The event listing places the audience beside the Surrender Chambers, while the transport instructions direct visitors towards Beach Station before the onward walk.

Fort Siloso’s wartime structures remain part of the visit rather than serving only as scenery. Tunnel B and its casemate are specifically named in the programme, so the combination of film and heritage exploration applies to this run and not merely to Sentosa’s regular attractions.
