Hauntu The Curve: Immersive Horror Experience Triumphs In Debut Month

With its tremendous success during its soft launch, Hauntu The Curve, the long-awaited sequel from the imaginative minds of Superdough—creators of the first Hauntu—has reinvented the immersive horror genre. Hauntu The Curve has highlighted its remarkable accomplishments from its first month as they proudly mark their grand opening and host a media-only experience event. Since opening its eerie doors on July 25th, 2023, this spine-tingling attraction has not only established itself as a pinnacle of success but also set groundbreaking standards for the industry. Superdough, the parent company behind Hauntu, continues to showcase its talent for creating unmatched horror experiences.

The numbers are compelling. Hauntu The Curve’s first month saw a spectacular increase in visitors, outpacing Hauntu The Linc’s first-month attendance by a wide margin. Hauntu The Curve has already attracted an impressive 2,000 participants. During its first month, this new attraction at The Curve had an astounding 70% slot occupancy rate, which amply illustrated the high level of demand from horror fans.

“The remarkable success of Hauntu The Curve in its debut month underscores the enduring appeal of immersive storytelling experiences. The enthusiastic response from our guests confirms our commitment to providing unmatched, spine-chilling encounters,” says Cheah Ka Wai, co-founder and head of marketing at Hauntu. “We’ve developed an unforgettable journey that goes into the core of compelling storytelling.”

Superdough shared several key factors behind the success of Hauntu The Curve:

  • Consumer demand for immersive horror experiences: A recent survey conducted by Superdough revealed that 44.44% of respondents actively participate in horror-themed activities or events, indicating a sustained interest in the genre. This aligns well with Hauntu’s spine-tingling offerings. The survey also found that more than half of the respondents (64.85%) view a storyline or narrative as crucial to a horror experience, emphasizing the importance of compelling and engaging plots for overall immersion. These insights highlight a strong appetite among horror enthusiasts for immersive storytelling.
  • The art of innovation: Hauntu The Curve elevates immersive horror experiences by combining original storytelling with cutting-edge technology and sophisticated engineering. The attraction is further enriched by striking sound effects, meticulously crafted set designs, skilled actors, and interactive engagements, setting a new industry standard in theatrical horror.
  • Originality that transcends boundaries: Inspired by traditional art forms like Kuda Kepang and Wayang Kulit, as well as the enchantment of traditional Malay performances and attire—especially the captivating Mak Yong ensembles—Hauntu The Curve offers an immersive experience that is both uniquely Malaysian and universally captivating. This original content seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, providing an experience that is not only exceptional but also universally enjoyable.
  • The partnership: Through collaborations with local cultural institutions such as PUSAKA, Superdough prioritises cultural accuracy and authenticity. This partnership ensures a creation that is not only thrilling but also respectfully reflects Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage.
