Slaughterhouse video interview

Earlier this afternoon we swung through downtown Des Moines to speak with Ian Miller about The Slaughterhouse. I had not seen the place since it moved to this new Locust Street location, and I was blown away. I had assumed they were still the “pig rendering factory” I had seen in past visits, but this is an all-new experience. It was not at all what I was expecting, and I can’t wait to see it with the lights off. Or themed lights on. Whatever. Here’s the video.

Bouton Haunted Church video interview

Just a short drive from Des Moines is Bouton, Iowa where an old church building has been turned in to a haunted house. It is only $5, and more than worth it. The funds go to the firefighters there (who also operate this haunted house). The haunt has all kinds of stuff in it — dark twisty hallways, creepy folks waiting for you in corners, clowns, unexpected blasts of air … it was a great time.

Krampus: Jingle Hell!

I know we are not even done with Halloween yet, but this was just sent to me about an event happening at The Slaughterhouse in a little over a month:

Consider this your advance notice to do some early Christmas (ticket) shopping. With only three hours on one night, I do not expect these tickets to last long.

Future Nightmare adds more days

Just in time for “Halloween Week,” Future Nightmares in Merle Hay Mall has added extra nights:

I will try to get the information on this website updated (as well as the calendar) as soon as I can. But, as always, check official sources before heading out. This year, at least three of the haunts have added or removed nights in the past week. Do not rely on what you see in a newspaper article or some Halloween nerd’s website. 😉
