Inside the world's most gruesome theme park 'Hell on Earth' – with dismembered heads, tears of blood and flesh-eating demons

HAW Par Villa, a disturbing theme park in Singapore, is all about hell.

The huge attraction – which brings together children aged six and up on school trips – teaches visitors about sin and the many gory ways it can be punished after death.

The 10 Courts of Hell, the main and spookiest feature, is open to guests most days and the website states “Hell Operating Hours”.

Nearly 4,000 square meters house a variety of disturbing exhibits, including dismembered human bodies, tears of blood, demons feasting on flesh and humans on pitchforks.

The museum has terrified visitors for generations. It was once an extravagant villa, but after World War II it was handed over to the Singapore government.

The 10 courts of hell depict different punishments that people can suffer in the afterlife – and are accompanied by informative signs about sin, based on years of Buddhist religion and culture.

Through a large concrete cavern, visitors can view the different versions of the fiery pits below.

The First Court is arranged like a courtroom, with a king presiding over the trials for people's souls.

Those who have been very good cross a golden bridge, and those who have just done more good than bad cross a silver bridge.

Gold leads to spiritual nirvana and silver takes the souls to a kind of lower heaven.

For those unfortunate souls who don't make it either, the remaining courts of Hell welcome them.

The exhibitions contain a bizarre combination of sins, ranging from swearing and wasting food to murder and rape.

The Sixth Court says that cheating, cursing or kidnapping others carries the penalty of being thrown into a tree of knives.

Abuse of books, possession of pornographic material, breaking rules and wasting food results in the body being sawed in half.

Several models depict people being sawed in half, stabbed, bleeding and crying.

Thieves are thrown into volcanoes, prostitutes are drowned in blood and gamblers are frozen in ice.

However, by the time the sinner reaches the tenth court, he is offered a magical tea that takes away all memories of the painful life and transfers it to the Wheel of Reincarnation.

The spooky park was previously considered a good place to take young children so they can be scared into behaving properly.

Nowadays, children must be at least nine to visit the Hell exhibition.

While the rest of the theme park includes a variety of attractions besides the so-called 'Hell', the website heavily promotes the spooky centerpiece exhibit.

One page reads: 'Good karma for those who are considerate of other hell visitors.

“Extra good karma for those who are kind to our hell employees.”

Below the contact details it says: “Please note that our hell minions are having a short, well-deserved break this weekend after all their hard work and torture – they will respond to you within 2-3 business days!”
