Looking for a darker twist on the holidays in Albuquerque? Krampus Below is a Christmas-themed haunted house experience from Haunted Scarecrow, hidden beneath downtown Albuquerque at 505 Central Food Hall.
This underground attraction blends holiday folklore, immersive storytelling, and close-up scares to create one of the most unusual Christmas events in Albuquerque.
An Underground Krampus Haunt Beneath Downtown Albuquerque
Krampus Below takes place in the basement of 505 Central Food Hall, transforming the space into a shadowy maze inspired by the legend of Krampus — the horned creature from European folklore who punishes the naughty during the Christmas season.
Guests descend into a dark holiday underworld filled with twisted decorations, eerie winter scenes, and actors lurking just around the corner. As visitors move through the attraction, each room reveals another piece of a chilling Christmas nightmare.
Like other Haunted Scarecrow productions, the experience focuses heavily on atmosphere and interaction. Instead of simply watching the story unfold, guests walk through it.
A Holiday Horror Experience Inspired by Krampus
Krampus Below reimagines the Christmas season through the lens of folklore horror. The haunt draws inspiration from the centuries-old legend of Krampus, blending traditional holiday imagery with unsettling environments and theatrical scares.
Visitors can expect:
Live actors and immersive storytelling

Psychological tension mixed with sudden scares
A limited-run seasonal haunted attraction in Albuquerque
This isn’t a typical holiday event — it’s a Christmas story where the festive spirit has taken a darker turn.
