Though we like to hang around in cemeteries a lot, we're still a pretty lively
bunch.  Terror in the Dark is designed as a Halloween activity for middle
school, high school, and college students to provide alternative entertainment
during the Halloween season.  Our mission is to encourage and support youth
programs and education financially.

Terror in the Dark Haunted House is a non-profit organization.  Eighty
percent of profits raised by our events is contributed to children-related
programs in Rapid City, SD.  The rest is retained for the support of future
fund raisers.

Since 1998 Terror in the Dark has been a Halloween event teens and
grown-ups alike have looked forward to every year.  Founded by members
from the Black Hills Renaissance Society (BHRS), the original intention of the
haunted house was to gather funds for a
renaissance faire for the Black Hills Area.
Little did the members of BHRS know what a
hit and how much fun putting on the haunted
house would be.  

The first year of the haunted house was such a
success that members of BHRS sought out a new
and much bigger location to house the event.  In
1999 they departed the realms of the former Three Sisters store in Baken
Park and decided to try the 12,000 square foot Soule Building at the Central
States Fairgrounds.  Through the years the haunt has gotten bigger and better
then ever and has enriched the lives of area youth who have grown up
volunteering for the house.  The number one goal of our group is to raise
money for kids charitable programs and a close second is to scare the living
yell out of all of our patrons each and every year. We take delight in doing
both and don't plan on stoping anytime soon!

Today our volunteers are a diverse mix of people, a couple who have been
doing this since day one and some who are brand new.  We all have one
common interest in mind, and that's making the Halloween season as much
fun as possible for kids and adults alike!
