Humboldt’s most twisted tradition is back for its 18th year of frightful fun!

Live music every night, the haunted atmosphere will be amplified as you make your way through this one-of-a-kind, artist-designed horror show.

Proceeds from the Haunted Lab of Horrors benefit the Kinetic Sculpture Lab, helping six teams to compete in the Kinetic Grand Championship—the original triathlon of the art world—where artists and engineers compete with their human-powered art sculptures each Memorial Day weekend.

Unlike typical haunted houses, this event is conceived and built by artists, making it a unique, creative, and thrilling experience. Groups of 4-6 will be guided through synchronized "stages" featuring elaborate lighting, sound, special effects, and dark humor that will scare even the bravest souls. WARNING: This haunted experience is not for the faint of heart. Participants should be prepared for intense scares, strobe lights, loud noises, darkness and a cast of terrifying creatures that will haunt your nightmares long after you’ve escaped.. Parental discretion is advised.

Don’t miss your chance to experience Humboldt’s creepiest, kookiest haunted lab—supporting a great cause! For more information, visit kineticsculpturelab.com or follow us on social media, @MostlyKineticMondays.
