2. Ghoul’s Gulch Haunted House
Ghouls Gulch is more than just a haunted house company, we are a family. The original members decided to move from home haunters to professionals in 2003 when they emerged in Colorado Springs and teamed with Theatre Works on Dante’s Inferno. Many of our original Inferno techs and cast have been with us since then and are now members of our family. We have watched the cast grow not only into adults but into key members of our team. With each haunt that we do our family grows and we are thrilled. We welcome previous cast and crew back and enjoy reuniting the family as often as possible.
Our family has a wide range of skill sets, from Professional Grave Diggers to Rock and Roll Roadies to Technical Theater Teachers to Electrical Engineers and Computer Scientists to Certified Pyrotechnicians, Airbrush Artists and more. We even have a Therapist to help out when we have messed with our own heads too much.
We are a diverse group and appreciate the uniqueness of the individual. We build haunts because it is our passion and we have fun doing it!

4. Dark Matter Bash at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
The bash is back!
Inspired by our Theater production Wait Until Dark and our art exhibition Springs Surreal, we invite you to unleash the dark side of your subconscious mind at the Dark Matter Bash on Saturday, October 24th.
The mysterious qualities of Dark Matter (unseen celestial phenomena with enormous mass) reflects the unknown, inner depths of the mind that Surrealist artists sought to extract. We dare you to explore how far your imagination can bend and create the most bizarre, surreal costume possible.
Enjoy a consciousness-expanding evening that you’ll never forget.
