Haunted Basement

HAUNTED BASEMENT │ RECONNECTION

Catacomb Collective is very excited to announce that tickets for this year's production of Haunted Basement at Bumbling Fools are now on sale. General admission tickets in advance (online) are $28 and at the door are $31. Fraidy Cat Tours are $15. The show opens October 2nd!

Merging artist-created environments with a diverse range of performance styles, the Haunted Basement is an interactive experience focused on absurdist psychological horror. The sets, characters, soundscape, and more are reimagined each year. We can't wait to reach out and touch you.

FRAIDY CAT TOURS

Interested in the scenes behind the screams? Don't feel quite brave enough to see the full show? Got too scared to notice the set? Fraidy Cat Tours are Haunted Basement's lights on, no scare walk through of each environment, led by a friendly face discussing the design and antics that occur each show night. A great way to see the details that go into each show, or just to dip one of your many appendages into our twisted productions! The tour does contain adult and graphic content.

Art of Fear

Since 2005 we have been terrifying the Twin Cities with absurdist psychological horror.  Before inching downstairs, you must sign a waiver and present valid ID. Prepare yourself for immersive theater, created by a community of avant-garde artists and horrible creeps who will

terrify you.

What to Expect

The Haunted Basement is a basement, it's deliciously moist. Expect strong smells, physical contact, and projectile liquids. You may get very messy, you may have to crawl, and you may find yourself in a confined space with something horrible.

What to Wear

The Haunted Basement is a great place to take a date. However, it is a bad idea to show up in nice clothes. They will get dirty. Make sure your shoes are closed toed. Don't wear heels.

What to Bring

Make sure you bring a valid ID. Leave your bags at home, if you don't need it, don't bring it. Also bring a good attitude, prepare to scream, laugh, and for your skin to crawl.
