Darkness descends on Bangkok as Under the Castle 2025 takes over EmSphere from Oct. 7 to Nov. 2. For the first time in Thailand, Pumpkie & Spookie’s twisted universe comes to life through immersive attractions, live encounters, and a theatrical horror journey like no other.

The adventure begins at the Night Market, serving creepy cocktails, hauntingly good bites, and one-of-a-kind finds.

This one-way, no-return experience is designed for groups of 10, leading guests into a maze of frights, fantasy, and shock.

Need a break from the fear? Head to the Mini Bar for sinisterly crafted drinks or explore the Experience Zone with interactive activities, a spooky photo booth, and chaotic bumper cars.

Open daily with late-night hours, Under the Castle welcomes visitors 16 and older, though only those 18+ may enter the Haunted House. Timed tickets are required, and entry is strictly one-time only. Prepare to get lost in the shadows of this haunting spectacle.
