If you're drawn to unconventional experiences that blend cultural elements with a touch of heritage, consider immersing yourself in Hauntu. This unique attraction offers an immersive experience that combines culture with a hint of horror.
Hauntu is an immersive horror experience where you will role-play as characters in a horror story. There are 2 different locations, and both offer different local horror stories. You can either travel to the post colonial era of Tanah Malayu and enter a terrifying haunted hotel experience at Hauntu The Linc. Here, the hotel is created with a western, post colonial look, complete with long, narrow hallways, grand suite rooms and even staff dressed up as hotel bellboys and receptionists. Or you can enter a Malay traditional dance academy that’s set in the ancient era which is available at Hauntu The Curve. The dance academy embraces Sultanate era design, featuring an interior that replicates a traditional "rumah kampung." Its halls are adorned with ancient musical instruments, setting the stage for a unique horror story intertwined with Malay heritage performances such as Mak Yong, Wayang Kulit, and Kuda Kepang.
No visit to KL is complete without a visit to the home of one of Malaysia’s most iconic artists, P.Ramlee! P. Ramlee was regarded as a prominent icon of Malaysian entertainment back in the late 1940s and 1950s. He had starred in approximately 62 films and directed 33 of them. While he was largely ignored during his acting days, he was considerably more honored by all years and decades after his passing. Located in the aptly named Taman P. Ramlee, the P. Ramlee Memorial House was his original home, which has since been turned into a museum of sorts, housing all of his memorabilia from P. Ramlee’s acting days.
