This is our winter horror event that brings the haunt back after Halloween with a dark holiday twist. It’s a limited-run experience centered around the legend of Krampus, blending Christmas imagery, intense scares, and a huge custom holiday light show. Bloody Disgusting has called it the biggest Krampus event in the country, and it gives guests a chance to experience Fear Columbus in a completely different, cold-season way — creepy, festive, and very much not your typical holiday outing.

Ground Rules

1. Fun for Everyone
These days are meant to be fun and add some extra spirit to the season. Get creative, but keep things respectful and work-appropriate—avoid politics, explicit content, or anything mean-spirited.

2. Age Appropriate
In that same vein, keep in mind we have a vast range of ages on staff. No need to use these days to push the boundaries at work.
