The “ultimate nightmare come true” will feature music, characters and imagery plucked straight out of the Slipknot catalog, as reported by The Des Moines Register. And it’s an event tailor made for Slipknot’s dedicated fan base.
“It’s all about the fans,” says Slipknot percussionist Clown. “It’s all about a special experience, making it one-on-one, almost. It really is going to be a moment in our history, in their history. And our history in Des Moines.”
Forty to 50 ‘knotted-out haunted house actors will bring the band’s “iconology, lore and culture” to life starting Friday, Oct. 5, and running through Oct. 28 at the 10,000 square-foot Slaughterhouse in Des Moines. Tickets are $20-$30.
