After its successful debut at the Food Carnival last month, the horror house is back with more thrills on a much larger scale.

In an interview with Ahmed Azmee (Baachy) the leading organiser of the horror house, we delve into the creative process that goes into crafting such a terrifying experience. Baachy shared that the team poured their heart and soul into the project, dedicating an impressive 10 to 12 days to ensure the horror house "Handi Ganduvaru" would come to life in all its gory glory. 

The "Handi Ganduvaru" horror house, brought to life by a group of talented local artists, has returned once again, this time to the Minivan Ufaa carnival with even more thrills and scares than before.

Late-night sessions fueled determination were the norm as the team meticulously designed and assembled the attraction piece by piece.

The concept that made the horror house a sensation during its debut remains at the core, blending elements of Maldivian folklore with Western twists. This time, however, the horror house has grown both in scale and scope. 

More props, more intricate details, and a larger cast of actors have been added to enhance the terrifying experience. 

Baachy shared his enthusiasm, stating, "we're happy with our work, but our target is to make an even better product next time."

The response to "Handi Ganduvaru" has been nothing short of overwhelming. From the moment the carnival gates open, eager visitors form long queues, eagerly awaiting their turn to be scared out of their wits. 

It's a testament to the careful craftsmanship and passion of the local artists that such an attraction has become a must-see at the Minivan Ufaa carnival.

The Minivan Ufaa carnival is organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs in collaboration with Urbanco, as part of the Maldives' Independence Day festivities. The carnival, a vivid tapestry of culture, entertainment, and community, offers something for everyone. Amidst the celebrations, the horror house stands as a haunting centrepiece, inviting brave souls to face their fears head-on.

As the carnival continues its run until August 3th at the Hulhumale' Central Park, attendees have the chance to experience the terror for themselves and become part of an exhilarating tradition. Thursday is the last day of the event. 

The "Handi Ganduvaru" horror house, born from the imagination and dedication of local artists, is a testament to the power of creativity to provoke genuine emotion.
