Haunted Basement X

Ten years ago, a volunteer explored the depths of The Soap Factory’s basement and emerged with a fiendishly simple idea: hand people a poorly functioning flashlight, send them downstairs into the darkness, and commit every terrified visitor to one important rule: DON’T LET GO OF THE ROPE.

A decade later, this simple idea has transformed into an ever-evolving annual tradition. The Haunted Basement has grown into one of the most notorious Halloween attractions in the midwest. In addition, it has become a breeding ground for demented new talent ranging from visual artists and set designers to actors, dancers and all-around Creeps.

As the project has grown, one core directive has remained exactly the same since day one: to scare the living daylights out of every miserable soul who descends our entrance steps. This year, in the tenth iteration of the Haunted Basement, the themes of the basement will focus on a twisted view of real-life horrors with our mangled interpretation of a day in the life of a typical tortured soul.

•A special exhibition by artist Brandon Kuehn and his Paranormal Art Project. Kuehn has been traveling across the state of Minnesota, researching eye-wintess accounts, folk tales, native myths, paranormal happenings and mysterious encounters. From meetings with native tribal members to document unknown legends to hunting for ghosts and UFO’s, to traversing the northern wilds for signs of Sasquatch, Kuehn worked with paranormal researches to document and create original artwork about the supernatural phenomenon they uncovered.
