Presented by Velvet Fox Events, Tardigrade’s Bookshelf, Fox Valley Pride, Arcana Books, and Gavin Schmitt (Midwest historian & author). Something wicked is coming to downtown Appleton…
Join us for one terrifyingly fun night as we transform The Velvet Fox into a living museum of Midwest macabre — complete with guided tours of eerie living dioramas featuring local crimes of a bygone era and two acts of an immersive dark arts performance.
Step inside our Midwest Murder Museum haunted basement experience, where local history and horror intertwine. Each scene brings a new unsettling story to life, featuring live actors, haunting visuals, and spine-tingling storytelling.
Upstairs, sip on themed cocktails and mocktails from Tardigrade’s Bookshelf, experience the Dark Arts Stage Performance, enjoy the classic Halloween party and dark carnival vibes among horror actors that blur the line between performer and phantom.
Outside, the fun continues with food trucks and additional entertainment (more info to come!).
