The Curse

You shouldn't have
watched this

A cursed VHS tape surfaces in Amsterdam. Static. A well. A woman crawling from darkness. Then a phone call: "Seven days."

Those who watch die exactly seven days later. The tape spreads — shared between friends, left in mailboxes, passed hand to hand across the city. No one believes until it's too late.

On Halloween night, all threads converge at WesterUnie. The 17th edition of Amsterdam Halloween. Enter the curse. If you dare.

The Experience

Enter the cursed world

Six immersive zones across WesterUnie

The Tape Room

Watch the cursed tape in a dark room lined with old CRTs. Static fills every screen. Then the well appears.

The Well Pit

Descend into a recreation of the haunted well. Stone walls. Dripping water. Something stirs at the bottom.

The Phone Booth

An old rotary phone rings in a dim corridor. Answer it. "Seven days."

The Gallery

Faces of those who watched. Polaroids pinned to cork boards. Obituaries. Each photo tells a story.

The Void

Main dance floor bathed in static-green laser light and fog. Industrial hardcore. The cursed beat.

Aftermath Bar

Themed cocktails — "Samara's Scream", "Seven Days Sour". Your last drink before the countdown ends.

The Legacy

16 Years of Nightmares

For over a decade and a half, we have transformed the heart of Amsterdam into a sanctuary for the strange, the macabre, and the beautifully twisted. What started as a local gathering has evolved into the city's most anticipated descent into darkness.

From the post-apocalyptic ruins of Nuclear Survival to the mind-bending madness of our 16th-anniversary edition, Alice in Horrorland, we have pushed the boundaries of fear and fantasy.

"Everyone believed Wonderland was a whimsical tale… until they stepped through our looking glass."

Below, explore the archives of our past editions — high-definition snapshots of your most terrifying costumes, immersive aftermovies capturing the energy and the screams, and a tribute to the survivors who have joined us year after year.
