the scoop

Health Trend

Kinsey graduated from SDSU with a degree in journalism. She spends her time in the Black Hills drinking coffee, watching too much Netflix, and writing for 605 Magazine.

Aryn Hollaren DIY

October is the best month. Hands down. The oppressive heat has ended and the bitter cold has yet to arrive. It’s time for hoodies, corn mazes, and of course, Halloween.

As an adult, I have just as much fun handing out candy to the neighbor kids as I did when I was the one ringing doorbells. Although the only ones wearing costumes in my house are (slightly resentful) miniature schnauzers these days, it’s fun to get in the spirit - and into character - each September as my coworkers and I put together our Halloween fashion shoot. This year, we challenged each other to channel icons of '80s cinema. Some of us were more successful than others, and each of us took our turn at feeling particularly silly in Sioux Falls’ public spaces, as photographer Michael Liedtke worked to bring our interpretations to life.

On this month's cover, you’ll find arguably the scariest attraction in all of South Dakota. 605 designer Liz Painter and I had a blast going behind the scenes at Brookings’ Fear Asylum, seeing for ourselves just how much work goes into making a top tier haunted house run. It’s a true passion project - and their passion is the stuff of nightmares.

I hope you enjoy all of the spooky, scary fun we’ve packed into these pages. Take time to slow down and sit outside with a cup of piping hot cider. Savor the crisp air and bright, clear autumn skies. While these are the best days, like the yellow and orange leaves, they are fleeting. @deni s edepao lo

GET YOUR METAL ON When Nick Murphy isn’t playing in Tennessee Murder Club or Husk, or working on co-founding Hydra Beer Company, he is organizing Metalween, a Halloween-themed metal music show.

Every year, Tennesee Murder Club plays Hammerween in Kansas, which happens during October. It's put together by Sioux Falls music scene legend and all-around great guy Terry Taylor, according to Murphy. It’s always a blast.

“I thought, 'Why not try to make something like that a tradition in Sioux Falls?' So last year my buddy, bandmate, and business partner Chad Petit, offered to help put it together, and put forth his amazing graphic design skills for promotion,” said Murphy. “I would have to say that the biggest reason of all for wanting to do Metalween has to be my undying love of heavy metal, and also my deep adoration for the holiday.”

For the event’s second year, Metalween will be at Skelly’s Pub in downtown Sioux Falls on Friday, October 23. Doors open at 7 p.m. Skelly’s is hosting Zombie Walk the next day, so it’s definitely the weekend to be at Skelly’s, Murphy says.

The event will be a very affordable five dollars. One hundred dollars to get in if you don’t wear a costume, Murphy jokes. He says he always wishes that events he’s involved in could be all ages, but this event will be for 21 and up.

that TMC relishes in, so we will be the final act and closing out the evening, but all our other projects will not be taking the stage.” Murphy wants to give some variety to the lineup, and some new and upcoming bands a spot to show what they can do, as well as give sets to proven staples of our music scene.

Putting the event together involved finding a location and possible lineup, then making some phone calls and sending e-mails until all the details were solid. TMC decided they better bring in some professional sound for the event.

“It’s gonna sound great, and I’m very fortunate to have bandmates that are willing to help me put these parts of the event together. Surprises for the evening are still in the works,” said Murphy.

He hopes that Metalween offers a sense of community. Everyone from all walks of life is welcome. “Even if you generally haven’t been into metal music in the past, I invite you to come out and give it another try.

You might be surprised at the amount of passion, variety, and incredible talent of bands that are playing regularly, right in your backyard.”

Murphy says Hydra Beer will be poured all throughout the event,

Those attending the event should expect heavy metal of all varieties, and to see some amazing costumes. Murphy hopes the bands and participants all dress up, because he certainly will.

and most likely, they will be doing some giveaways as the evening progresses. “Expect great beer and a great time for a great price in the heart of our city. Long live heavy metal, and hail Hydra.”

Murphy wanted to do the lineup a little different than shows he’s had a hand in putting together in the past. Every member of Tennessee Murder Club is in multiple bands, so he’s always tried to incorporate other bands that the members play in with past lineups. This year, he says he went the opposite direction. “Obviously, Halloween is a holiday

The Metalween 2015 lineup includes: Tennessee Murder Club, Talk Rock, Oppress the Tyrant, Green Altar (formerly Doprah Winnfree), and Witch Energy. For more info, search the event on Facebook.

Q&A

Q&A WANDER THROUGH RAPID CITY'S HAUNTED PAST Image by Rapid City Arts Council

Rapid City’s downtown has a rich history some violent, some disturbing - but for enthusiasts of the past (and the supernatural), all fascinating. Holly Kennedy started Rapid City Walking Tours four years ago to share

by Steve Babbitt theImage stories of a time gone by. This month, Kennedy’s “Strange and Ghostly Tour” (offered year-round) ramps up with nightly walks October 23-31. She tells us what to expect from this spooky, yet familyfriendly experience.

Share a bit about the “Strange and Ghostly Tour.”

HK: It’s a collection of ghost stories and experiences that are somehow connected to Rapid City and the downtown area. Most stories were related to your guide by the people that actually had the experience. Some are older stories that have been circulating for many years, but many are stories that are very recent.

What are some of the specific places the tour stops?

HK: A few of our stops include the Hotel Alex Johnson, Elks Theatre, and Hooky Jack’s old residence.

Why do you think people connect with spooky or haunted history topics?

HK: Everyone likes a good ghost story.

Happily, we have pretty friendly ghosts in Rapid City. It is fun to realize that there are supernatural happenings in many of the places we pass and frequent in our daily lives.

Should participants bring anything in particular?

HK: Dress for the weather. There is often a nip in the air, so hat and gloves with your coat is recommended. The tour does go on nightly - rain, moonshine or snow. I do not ask for advance payment, so if the weather turns too bad for your taste, you can always cancel.

Who is one especially interesting person supposedly haunting downtown Rapid City?

HK: We have so many ghosts downtown, but the one with the most personality and best stories is no doubt Hooky Jack.

You’ll have to come take the tour to hear his story and historical connection to Rapid City.

Anything else we should know?

HK: The tour is just under a mile and all stops are easily reached with a wheelchair. There are places to sit here and there along the route. We walk at a leisurely pace. The tour lasts around 90 minutes and often other people on the tour have their own ghost stories that they share. It’s fun and informative and great for all ages. Check out our reviews on TripAdvisor.com.

Reservations are required. Cash only.

To book, call (605) 430-6445. For more info, visit rapidcitywalkingtour.com.

T H E R E V E N A N T: A NOVEL OF REVENGE

BY MICHAEL PUNKE This is not a new book, but since it is about to be released as a movie starring the ever talented Leonardo DiCaprio and super hunky Tom Hardy, I thought I'd check it out.

I mean, they'll both be sporting super manly lumberjack beards. Who doesn't like that?

Anyway, while scouting by himself, Hugh is mauled by a bear and is very near death. He has long gouges across his face, neck, and back. His scalp has literally been pulled from his skull and is hanging off of his head.

If that image makes you queasy, this may not be the book for you. It goes into a way more graphic description of Hugh's wounds. The scalp thing is the worst.

The book is a novelization of the true story of Hugh Glass. In the 1820s, after being a pirate in the Caribbean for a while, he finds himself working for the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. These guys go out into the unexplored western territories and collect furs for months at a time.

Anyway, the group he is with needs to keep moving, but also does not want to leave Hugh.

He is mostly unconscious, and they are sure he will die. They just want to make sure he gets a proper burial. The leader of the group decides to leave Hugh with two men. They have instructions to bury Hugh once he dies and then catch up with the group.

These are the kinds of guys you definitely want on your side in a knife fight. All they do is eat

John Fitzgerald and Jim Bridger volunteer for

the task. John is nothing but a criminal. The only reason he is on this expedition is because he is wanted in pretty much every major city and knows nobody will find him in the woods.

Jim is only a teenager and this is his first expedition.

What could go wrong?

Jim does his best to patch up Hugh's wounds.

He rubs sap in the gouges on his face and back.

He puts his scalp back in place.

But Hugh won't die, and after a few days John is getting nervous as they will have to catch up with the others. Then they see some Native Americans coming. They take all of Hugh's supplies, including his gun and knife, and take off.

Yeah, you guys just messed up.

WAY TOO INDIE

Queen of Earth

8.5 10

bio: Dustin Jansick is the owner of WayTooIndie. com, which is dedicated on providing you with the most accurate and honest movie reviews and ratings. The site is focused around, but certainly not limited to, independent films.

Dustin, along with other fellow contributors, not only write reviews on indie, foreign and art house films, but also post trailers, news articles and Top-10 lists. Check them out on Facebook and @WayTooIndie on Twitter.

Recently, the staff here at Way Too Indie put together a list of independent films we thought Alfred Hitchcock might have made if The Master of Suspense had come up in the Kickstarter Era. There were some great choices, including Mulholland Drive and Stoker, while my pick was The Usual Suspects.

It’s too bad that assignment came before I had the chance to screen Queen of Earth. The psychological drama not only invokes Hitch, it screams Hitch.

Catherine (Elisabeth Moss) is a young woman on the ropes, having recently lost her father and been dumped by her boyfriend. Reeling from these impactful events, she looks to get away from it all by spending a week with Ginny (Katherine Waterston), an old and dear friend whose parents have a gorgeous and secluded lakeside vacation home. The retreat, however, proves less than helpful. Memories of happier times at the vacation home - times when Catherine’s (now-ex) boyfriend James (Kentucker Audley) was also a guest - surface to wrack Catherine’s conscience. Agitating things further are Ginny’s passive-aggressive behavior towards Catherine and the perpetual presence of Ginny’s neighbor/plaything Rich (Patrick Fugit), who takes

6 YEARS

WAY TOO INDIE

Jason Schwartzman has perfected the alchemy of the self10 centered, but likable jerk, a petty narcissist out looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places who, despite his hardened outer shell, really does have his heart in the right place. We’ve seen it before, born and arguably perfected during his work with his pal Wes Anderson, the character might have reached its peak in last year’s acerbic Listen Up, Philip. But Schwartzman did all that and more. And now, with Bob Byington’s (Somebody Up There Likes Me) 7 Chinese Brothers, Schwartzman is working his magic again, while managing to salvage some of the film around him.

7.0

Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig’s 2012 collabora10 tion, Frances Ha, cemented them as every indie lover’s favorite power duo, and their new, polished comedy Mistress America will only make their fans grow fonder. It’s not quite the modern masterpiece their first offering was, but with some sharp acting and an exceptionally written script, it’s a winner in its own way. Baumbach's earlier film from this year, While We’re Young, got generational comedy all wrong; Gerwig may just be his lucky charm, because Mistress America gets it all right. And its one of the funniest films Baumbach’s ever made.

8.0

6 Years captures what a longterm relationship feels like when it nears the breaking point. First love is a powerful beast, but its fate is often doomed from failing to accept that sometimes ending a relationship is better than trying to stick it out. Hannah Fidell (A Teacher) illustrates this powerful realization in the final emotional scene of uncertainty. It’s heartbreaking. 6 Years distances itself from other flawed relationship narratives with its excellent acting and fresh take on gender roles. With an improvised script, small-name actors, and a naturalistic relationship, it’s no surprise that indie gods Mark and Jay Duplass were executive producers on the film.

AT HOME WITH NICK PATTON

(page 26) OCTOBER 2015

“I met Aaron Pearcy in the alley one night. He was doing a piece in Art Alley and I asked if he’d be interested in painting something for my apartment. They turned out pretty awesome.”

Look for more photos online!

NICK PAT TON

Modern, stylish, and thoroughly functional. Those descriptors fit Nick Patton’s Rapid City loft-style apartment to a tee.

Located right next door to the historic Hotel Alex Johnson, the space embodies the convenience of downtown living and the luxury coveted by HGTV devotees.

Nick, a self-employed entrepreneur, acts as landlord for the four units that occupy the building’s second floor and was instrumental in every step of their design, along with building owner Cortez, LLC. “Cortez came up with the idea - we thought it would be cool to have a different spin on Rapid City than your typical downtown living, which is nothing like this,” he recalled. “We wanted to bring a luxury perspective, as you would see in any big city around the nation. This was our attempt at that.”

Before Cortez renovated the apartments, the space sat empty for three decades following a blaze that, Nick says, claimed a firefighter's life. But despite the building’s tragic past, and the famously haunted hotel next door, he and his neighbors have never seen anything out of the ordinary. In fact, the building’s fresh incarnation has attracted inquiries from all over the country, resulting in a sizable wait list for occupancy.

“When we got here, everything was basically destroyed,” said Nick. “Everything was gutted and then we replaced everything from there on out. Top-of-the-line everything. I like to consider it a million-dollar home shrunk down into 1,100 square feet.”

As we enter Nick’s apartment, located at the building’s rear, we notice that the door has buttons, which make a physical key unnecessary. He explained that he hates having things in his pockets and would like to eventually set it up to open using Bluetooth, which he already uses to control the thermostat, in-ceiling speakers, outdoor speakers, and light switches.

The loft is largely an open concept floor plan, with the kitchen flowing directly into the living area, and 11-foot ceilings that make it feel much larger than its actual size. Gleaming white cabinetry, designed locally by Riss and Associates,

605MAGAZINE.COM (page 27)

“I tried to think of everything and anything I could do to simplify living. I can’t think of anything I missed.”

adds to the modern, clean look accentuated by stainless steel appliances and waterfall-style grey quartz countertops. A matching center island brings ample prep room, a second sink (complete with a second garbage disposal), and a seating area to the kitchen. Modern, curvedback wooden bar stools and copper accents add a bit of warmth to the otherwise sterile look.

Latte-colored faux wood flooring runs throughout the apartment, which Nick says is a luxury vinyl. “Basically, it’s indestructible. Let’s say, for example, someone came in here with a knife and stabbed into one of the planks, I could get a heater, take up the plank and replace it. So we kind of wanted something that was durable and gave the look of real wood.”

The living room is a testament to Nick’s spare, modern aesthetic, holding a large black leather sectional and ottoman, which can slide together to create a guest bed. The back of the couch itself can pop up to be a headrest, while also providing hidden storage for small items, like blankets and remote controls. The only decorative pieces are a large grey and teal painting by local graffiti artist Aaron Pearcy, who goes by the moniker “AMP,” a tripod pendulum clock from The Clock Shop, and a chandelier comprised of what appear to be copper-accented vintage light bulbs.

On the way to Nick’s bedroom, we pass a half guest bathroom in which the tastefully-striped mocha wood cabinetry coordinates with the walnut trim found throughout the home. The countertop is a pale quartz, matching the tile floor.

The bedroom, like the rest of the apartment, is minimally decorated, with a TV mounted in one corner, another large piece by AMP over the bed, and a unique glass-fronted safe in the wall. Sectioned into compartments, the safe displays Nick’s watches and bracelets around rolls of bills. When asked whether the money was real, he said simply, “No comment.”

Through the bedroom, we enter the master bath, which feels very open, thanks to the glass-doored shower. And, like all doorways in the loft, the bathroom has a sliding barn door.

“When you have to swing a door, it takes space out. If we have barn doors, we’re not losing any space on anything,” Nick explained.

Also tucked into the bathroom is a stacked washer and dryer, which allow him to hang his clothes directly in the adjoining six-by-sevenfoot walk-in closet. One thing you will not find in Nick’s apartment is a dresser. With three tiers for hanging clothes and built-in drawers, the

(page 28) OCTOBER 2015

AT HOME WITH NICK PATTON

“It seems that closet space is always the issue. Basically, we wanted to use the 11-foot space we had. We used the app a lot called Houzz - and we found this setup on a closet and added a third tier to it.”

closet has all of the storage space one person would likely need. Items too high to reach can be accessed with a retailstyle garment hook, acquired by Nick on Amazon.com.

“So if I need a suit here, I got it,” he demonstrated. “I don’t wear a lot of suits, but I know if I need it, if I need a backpack - I take it down pretty frequently to go hiking. I try to make everything neat, clean. I’m pretty big on efficiency, so why can’t you have that in a house or loft or anywhere? I try to use every bit of space that I have.”

Lastly, we head to what is arguably the apartment’s crown jewel. The deck. By any measure, it is an incredible amount of outdoor space in the heart of downtown. The 400 square feet boasts a hard piped fire pit and grill, which means never having to lug propane up the stairs.

The deck is floored with soft tiles, which Nick says were acquired through one of the project’s roofers. “It basically feels like you’re walking on a cloud. Whether you’re barefoot or not - it feels real nice for a tile. Under the tiles, there’s actually a system so water doesn’t sit on the tiles. It goes into and then out. Kind of a complex idea.”

From the deck, above the rooftops, one can see the letters on the hill at Founders Park. Directly below, is Rapid City’s most famous modern creative feature, Art Alley. Nick loves the ever-changing view that the alley provides - and the view from the Vertex Sky Bar atop the Alex Johnson. Under the same ownership, the apartment tenants enjoy a membership included in the price of their rent.

Nick admits the rent is steep for Rapid City, but he assures us he gets what he pays for. Utilities are incredibly efficient, with sky tubes that make it unnecessary to turn on lights most of the time. Plus, many of the places he and his neighbors go on a daily basis are a short walk away. It’s a lifestyle that Nick plans to hold onto as long as he can.

“I don’t see myself moving in the next three years. Obviously if I get a wife, and if the kid thing ever happens, I’ll probably be moving out. We’ll see about that. It’s kind of hard to leave.”

A TASTE OF SARCASM BY DENISE DEPAOLO

2310 S Marion Rd #100 Sioux Falls, SD 57106 (605) 271-1806 thesandbarsf.com

THE SANDBAR & GRILL “WHAT I SAY IS THAT, IF A FELLOW REALLY LIKES POTATOES, HE MUS T BE A PRET T Y DECENT SORT OF FELLOW.” — A . A . MILNE

The SandBar & Grill is part of a new strip mall located just south of Sioux Falls’ busy West 26th and Marion intersection. As the name eludes, the décor concept aims to capture the sparse, unfussy, yet stylish look of a modern waterfront cabin. Despite sitting just beyond a large manmade pond (which separates patio diners from a distant I-29), instead of lakewater, fish, and boat motors, one simply smells the clean scent of fresh construction upon entering.

A friend and I stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and sat ourselves, as indicated by a sign, in a booth by the front windows. A server stopped by a moment later with menus and to inform us that our server would be by shortly for drink orders. As promised, we waited no more than two minutes for her to arrive.

Since our stomachs were already rumbling, we ordered the Baked Potato Flat Bread while we perused the rather extensive menu. The offerings at The SandBar consist largely of your standard bar and grill fare, with wings, cheese curds, and house nachos in the appetizer section, except that many selections have been elevated with gouda and aioli and ciabatta to meet the desires of the Food Network generation. For example, one of the items we ordered was the SandBar Burger Melt, which is a play on the typical patty melt. But instead of Swiss cheese and onions on rye, this burger is joined by provolone and cheddar cheeses, red onion, and smoked mayo between

slices of grilled sourdough bread. Our third choice was the Steak ala Rosa from the entree portion of the menu, which also looked like an interesting combination of standard pasta ingredients.

When our flatbread arrived, it was difficult to exercise restraint and save room for the rest of our order. The crust was crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, with a dusting of garlic salt on the bottom, which made each part of each bite worth it. The crust was topped with a savory, garlicky, glorious combination of alfredo sauce, mashed potato, cheese, and bacon.

What made it truly great, though, and not just an indistinguishable mashup of gluttonous goodness, were the sour cream sauce drizzle and green onions, which provided the fresh zip necessary to keep things interesting. Although definitely best saved for a “cheat day,” my friend and I agreed that the Baked Potato Flat Bread would be worth returning for.

Our entrees arrived before we could finish devouring the flatbread, thankfully. My first stop was the burger, served on the most perfectly toasted golden sourdough I have ever seen. The smoky flavor of the mayo mingled perfectly with the onions and cheese. As a patty melt fan, I found this to be a delightful alternative. The homemade garlic parmesan potato chips served on the side were substantial, crispy, and super flavorful.

Lastly, I dug into the Steak ala Rosa - broiled sirloin served on top of tortellini with a creamy marinara sauce, chopped tomatoes, broccoli, and

(ATMOSPHERE)

(TASTE)

The dining area is spare and clean with a large bar. If I return on a nice evening, I’ll be sure to sit on the gigantic patio overlooking the water.

Our server was right on top of refills. She gave us time when we asked for it, and brought our food out promptly and piping hot. I also liked that even though we weren’t her table, we were greeted by our server’s team member as soon as we sat down. For a new restaurant, I found that especially impressive.

It was all pretty tasty. The flatbread would make an absolutely ideal snack after a few cocktails (or anytime, really).

The next day, even refrigerated overnight and eaten cold, the rest of the burger was pretty darn good. I’d recommend eating the chips immediately, though.

bleu cheese crumbles. The steak was tender and incredibly tasty, and each component of the dish was good. But, it seemed to lack cohesion. The sauce was very mellow, which was necessary to not clash with the bleu cheese. However, the creamy marinara and bleu cheese seemed an odd pairing at the start. The broccoli was chopped into very large pieces that could not be eaten in a single bite. The tomatoes felt like an unnecessary afterthought. The tortellini was al dente, yet filled with a mild cheese that was lost amid the strength of the bleu. This was not a bad dish, but it definitely seemed like the Frankenstein’s Monster of our feast.

Bottom line: This is a place for good, filling, non-boring bar fare.

It’s the facts...

If someone has a hard time making a decision, they usually go for this. It’s like grandma’s house.

It’s creamy and it’s got so much flavor. Every time you bite into it, you get something different. You also have the pie crust garnish on top of it, so it adds a little something extra.”

In addition to readymade options, Zoup! sells both vegetable and chicken stock, which make a perfect base for favorite athome recipes.

FITTINGLY, GUY BURDICK’S LIFE TOOK A SHARP LEFT TURN ON A HALLOWEEN NIGHT ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO. The lifelong lover of spookiness was handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, with the Discovery Channel on in the background. When a show called The Top 13 Scariest Haunted Houses in the U.S. came on, so did a lightbulb.

“I’ve always loved haunted houses, but I’d never been to a good haunted house. They’d all been Walmart masks and no budget.” said Burdick, a native of Brookings. “I was watching that and I was totally blown away. I was like, ‘Oh my god. Look what these people are building!’ So I started researching it and found that no one around this part of the country does this. I decided I was going to see one of these really good haunted houses. To make a very long story short, I decided I was going to build my own haunted house. Thinking, ‘How hard can it really be?’"

That was the day Fear Asylum was born. Burdick, who goes by Buck, began by getting in touch with the

people behind some of the nation’s biggest, scariest haunted houses. After several conversations, he was invited to a trade show in St. Louis, where he found the tools and inspiration to bring his vision to life.

“When I walked in, I just couldn’t believe it,” he remembered. “I couldn’t believe, A - how much everything cost, and B - I couldn’t believe what people were doing. The stuff that you see at this trade show is nothing that you see at a Halloween store in Sioux Falls.”

Above all else, Burdick knew that he wanted to create a fearscape in his hometown that looked and felt as authentic as possible. Basically, a haunted house that people wouldn’t dream of bringing their small children to see. After the initial trade show, he traveled around the country touring the attractions he’d seen on TV, going behind the scenes, and befriending the movers and shakers of the industry before going home and giving it a shot.

Fear Asylum’s first year, Burdick says, was a disappointment. “It wasn’t what I saw on TV. But I made more friends and kept progressing and the budget became bigger and we became better at what we do. Now we’re in our sixth season and we’re ranked the number one haunted house in the entire state. I have people who travel from Chicago, Omaha, Lincoln, California, Florida, that come every year to this haunted house. It’s a big production.”

“WE’RE RANKED THE NUMBER ONE HAUNTED HOUSE IN THE ENTIRE STATE.”

“OF COURSE, I CAME IN COSTUME, BECAUSE I USED TO HAVE HAUNTED HOUSES AT MY HOUSE. I WOULD SCARE PEOPLE OUT OF MY YARD, RATHER THAN GIVE THEM CANDY.”

A big production it is. Fear Asylum alone is a 10,000 square-foot hellscape, comprised of more than a dozen meticulously crafted individual scenes, which take people like Wyatt Robbins the rest of the year to build. Wyatt started working for Burdick in high school. Now an SDSU student, he helps to bring many of the disturbingly authentic sets to life, works to control animatronics as guests walk through, and even does some acting.

he came as a guest with his children in tow.

“Of course, I came in costume, because I used to have haunted houses at my house,” he laughed. “I would scare people out of my yard, rather than give them candy. We showed up in costume, and we were standing in line and Buck was in costume and came up to us and said, ‘You really need to do this.’”

Bosworth’s first character was a demented inmate who wore a bunny costume and chased people around, carrying meat cleavers that sparked. Since then, he’s played a psychotic nun, and this year, it’ll be a monk.

When asked what would surprise people the most about what goes on behind the scenes, Wyatt immediately thinks about the money. “People wouldn’t believe how much it takes to create something like this, but as soon as they walk in, they know it’s not like any other haunted house they’ve ever been to. They look at the detail and it’s above and beyond anything they’ve ever even imagined. And then I think what really everybody takes away, they come in and see all the cool scenes we make, and then the actors actually interact with everybody out in the queue line and in the scenes. It’s incredible.”

Although, he says, acting is a lot of fun, the bar is set incredibly high. “Once we all get into character and everything’s set up, it is real. It feels real. It feels like it goes on forever, even though it doesn’t. Buck puts a lot of effort into detail.

Not only with the set, but with his characters. He expects us to stay in character, so there’s no horsing around. No getting caught with your pants down, so to speak.”

Like Wyatt, many of these actors have been with Burdick for years. Bob Bosworth - who would describe himself as a “Halloween person” - has acted in the Fear Asylum every year, except for the first, when

One of these unique characters has a second attraction built around her.

Emily’s Closet is a slightly smaller, 3D haunted house that operates next to Fear Asylum. For the past few years, the role of Emily has

been played by 17-year-old Maddie Robbins, who was recruited by brother Wyatt.

“Emily is a little 8-year-old girl,” Maddie explained.

“She’s really funny, loud, crazy, psychotic. She’s kind of a ghost. She doesn’t age.

She doesn’t have any family left, but she sees people that other people don’t.”

“I didn’t originally play Emily,” she continued. “I did a couple of other random jobs, then one night, we didn’t have anyone to play Emily, so I did it. I just took it and decided to play hide and seek with all the customers. Buck told me he really loved it and wanted me to keep doing it.

So it turned into a big game of hide and seek every night where I never lose.”

When asked what he and Maddie’s parents think about their choice of afterschool job, Wyatt laughed. “They’re pretty cool with it. They make jokes about it. All they can do is shake their head, and they’re just mesmerized by how much actually goes on here.”

A production the size of Fear Asylum requires 60 to 65 staff members to work every night, between actors, makeup artists, and behind the scenes people. And, the work doesn’t stop once Halloween is over. Each year, Burdick changes at least three of his sets in an effort to provide guests with a uniquely terrifying experience every single season.

Sometimes, he says, the sets that get ripped out are his best ones, because they are too memorable.

Inspiration for new sets comes from his travels to trade shows and from the national haunted house industry. He and other attraction owners will bounce ideas, trying to one-up each other. Pinterest, Burdick says, has been a lot of help as well. It was instrumental in building the crypts and gravestones for his “Sanctuary of Despair” scene.

“Whatever concept I’m trying to achieve, I’ll start a Pinterest board and I’ll search the internet for all these different pictures,” he explained.

“So all the things you see here were inspired by New Orleans-style graveyards. I have a Pinterest board that has about 300 different images. So if you’re going into the sewer, I have a Pinterest board of nothing but different industrial-looking sewers. I have a cafeteria here that was inspired by insane asylum cafeterias. So that’s how I come up with my inspiration.”

Burdick warns that Fear Asylum isn’t for the faint of heart. However, that hasn’t kept the crowds away. On a typical night, and more so as Halloween approaches, guests will line up around the block to have the living daylights scared out of them.

This, he says, is a destination. “I’m just excited that we’re getting better at this every year. It gets a little better and more fun and more real. People should be prepared to make an evening of it.”

THE SCOOP BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON

HISTORY AND HAUNTINGS ABOUND ON HOTEL TOUR Savoy Schuler and Bryce Brinker are the founders and guides of the ghost tour in arguably the most haunted hotel in the Midwest - the historic Hotel Alex Johnson in downtown Rapid City. They say ghosts wanting to play, shadow people lurking around corners, and unusual occurrences aren’t exactly unusual at the Alex Johnson; they’re the norm.

Many may have heard stories about the Alex Johnson, like the ghost bride who died in her wedding gown.

However, not all have heard about the theories behind her death or about an unsettling barbershop that was located beneath the Alex Johnson.

Those are the types of stories and insights guests and visitors will get to hear while on the ghost tour. It began when Schuler and Brinker began working at the hotel in 2013 and started hearing all of the stories that the hotel staff shared with each other. Events started happening to them, and when they realized guests wanted to hear their stories while getting checked into their rooms, the idea was born.

halls, and whispers of a girl asking them to play. Stories of the ghost of Johnson’s daughter throughout the hotel are the most common.

One to 3 a.m. are the witching hours, however, Brinker and Schuler say any time in the evening is sure to give you more time with the valets, a better chance of having a ghostly story to take home, and the guarantee of a spookier feel in the air. Tours can range anywhere from 30 minutes up to two hours. It depends on how much time guests and visitors have, as well as how much time the valets have. Any length of time in the hotel will be enough to hear of at least a few ghost stories.

“All staff members have stories. You can’t work here for “Our valet staff gives the tours,” said Schuler. “It’s unof- more than a month and not have a story,” said Brinker. ficial, but if people call or show up after 5 [p.m.], we can “You couldn’t ask anyone who’s been here for more than a usually give them the tour.” month and not get a personal story from them.”

Brinker chimed in, “Thursday through Saturday is our busiest time. We’ll bring 100 people through in that time and share stories with them.”

One thing for sure is these guys know their Hotel Alex Johnson ghosts. Schuler doesn’t like to go into room 807 and Brinker has the same feelings about 802. However, guests are more than welcome to stay in these rooms.

In fact, they’re encouraged. Guests can reserve a ghost tour package, which includes a night in a haunted room, the ghost tour, and a personal KII ghost hunter meter, among other things.

Five rooms are given the official “haunted” label: 304, 305, 802, 807, and 812. Room 812 is the one with the most reported stories. Schuler pulls out a large and obviously worn notebook that he hands over, explaining that it is filled with guests’ stories in their own words. Some days have up to three stories reported in the notebook.

The third floor was Alex Johnson’s personal floor for himself and his daughter, and is one of the two most haunted floors. Many of the hotel staff have reported hearing laughter, a small child running up and down the

The tour starts in the basement, goes up through the floors, and gets progressively more haunted. On the tour, the KII ghost hunter meter is with the valet and you can watch as it spikes red in certain spots, especially outside of some of the haunted rooms. It’s sure to scare even the toughest and most skeptical of people.

Make sure to call ahead and let the valets know how many people will be on the tour, then they will work with you to make sure you get the best ghost tour experience. October is an especially great month for ghost tours, and on October 31 a Halloween Party will be held with a costume contest. First prize is $500 and second prize is a year membership to the Vertex Sky Bar. All of the valets have stories to share and are more than willing to let guests in on the haunted details of the Hotel Alex Johnson’s history. Be prepared to hear about some of the lesser known (but just as eerie) stories and expect that you won’t be able to help but look over your shoulder, especially on the eighth floor.

Cannary has lived one heck of a life.

For our Halloween issue, we pulled up a chair at Saloon No. 10 and chatted with the ghost of Calamity, whose life is so full of myths and fabrications it’s hard to know what the truth is, and frankly, it’s all interesting anyway.

How did you get to Deadwood?

I rode up to Fort Laramie. That’s where I ran into…okay, I had a little bit – a couple of bottles. I ended up in the guard shack and that’s when Colorado Charlie and Wild Bill [Hickok] come through. I ended up getting on that wagon train and, well, that’s how ended up in Deadwood City. Hell, I had already been there in '75 with the Jenny Expedition. Not a soul here. Come back…10,000 of ‘em. That’s what gold will do.

You’re known to be pretty rowdy.

Well, no, not me. Not any more than what’s called for. Hell, I don’t really remember. I’d come out here and howl at the moon. It echoes

What do you say about rumors that you exaggerate?

Did you have a crush on Wild Bill?

Well, he was alright. He was pretty good on the wagon train because he had a barrel of whiskey.

He treated me with respect, where some of them others fell short of that. They had a question in their mind about a gal who wanted to ride a horse and do something besides stay in the kitchen and make the damn biscuits for the boys all the time. They got questions about it. Well I got the answer, I told them they can get glad in the same pants they get mad in ‘cause I already got ‘em on, and I ain’t changin’ for nobody. Hadn’t a poor woman got the same right to make the same livin’ as a man? So that answers a lot of questions, I suppose. But Wild Bill, he had a good respect and he deserved respect. The best one of all, is what he was.

Prettiest corpse I ever seen.

Were you sad after he was murdered?

They put that damn Jack McCall on trial. I didn’t go, I had already picked up a bottle at

that point. I couldn’t believe Bill was gone.

Well, me and Colorado Charlie buried him while the trial went on, I figured someone better do it that knew him. I put blue flowers on his grave.

What do you Deadwood?

I think it’s the best city in the world ‘cause, well, it’s a city now. I come back because it was always home. I was always on the go. Had a brothel, had a lumber business, but nothing was home. There’s good people here, and that’s what I like. We take care of each other – the Black Hills Society of Pioneers paid for new boots for me when I needed ‘em.

What do you think about all of these visitors coming through your town?

The folks like to come and visit and we’ll help ‘em. I’ll tell ‘em where to go, ‘specially if they’re rude if you know what I mean. We don’t mind, even when the bikers come. We like when they come… and ‘specially when they leave, too.

How did you pass away?

The real way is a little embarrassin’, so just tell ‘em I died wrestlin’ a bear. I had the biggest service in Deadwood ‘cause I saved a young boy with small pox. So his daddy made sure I had the biggest service…10,000 people marched up the hill. Not one mourner among ‘em.

LITTLE PARENT ON THE PRAIRIE by Tracy Kirby

intently and excitedly about each person’s latest promotion, big sell, and new job venture. When it came around to me - the only mother in the group - I began to get excited to detail some of the random happenings in life as of late. But, as I started to talk, I was suddenly cut off when someone smiled at me and said, “And we all know you must be busy at home being just a mom!”

I blinked. “Just?!”

Out of nowhere, I suddenly felt the urge to reach across the table and grab the person by the collar and say through fiercely clenched teeth, “JUST A MOM?!” But as my arms began to reach across the table in this deliberate act of aggression, reason caught up with me and (oops!) I grabbed another taco. Awkward crisis averted.

Thankfully, someone made another unrelated comment and the conversation veered into an entirely different trajectory. But, the damage to my ego had been done. The seemingly innocent word “just” sliced me with the power of a four-letter word.

As we drove away from what would have been a perfect evening, I confessed to my husband the reason for my bruised ego: I hate being known as “just” a mom, as if I’m not contributing to society enough to be involved in a career conversation. And because he is a dreamboat husband, he turned to me and said, “If they only knew all you did.”

Yeah! Take that!

“J U S T ” — A F O U R LET TER WORD With two children now, it is somewhat infrequent that we patronize hip, chic restaurants as a family of four. It’s not that we don’t imagine ourselves as hip, chic people per se. It’s just that, I don’t know, something about a double stroller, obnoxious amounts of kid gear, and constant breastfeeding kills the whole hip, chic vibe. However, a few weeks back, while traveling, we found ourselves at a young, groovy restaurant with some friends eating tacos. And if you know anything about me, you know tacos are my love language.

So there we were, eating delicious tacos. Our infant was sleeping soundly in his carrier and our toddler was miraculously behaving gloriously. I had a margarita in my hand, a taco in the other, there was great conversation among friends, and I had my dashing husband sitting next to me. It felt like warm heaven. And I felt like Mom of the Century - hip and chic all at the same time.

Somehow the conversation turned to what we were all doing with our careers and I listened

But as I later mulled it over in my mind (in between bouts of daydreaming of big city tacos), I wasn’t so much aggravated by the common misconception that being a mom is some kind of easy career. I feel no need to make an exhaustive list of everything moms do to prove mainstream thought wrong. And believe me, it would indeed be an exhaustive list. But, that’s not my hill to die on.

No. What really bothered me was the fact that I was even bothered at all by such a small, flippant comment. What it revealed to me was the gross fact that I still place some of my identity in what others perceive I do rather than who I actually am.

Because reality is, I am not, and no one is “just” anything.

We are all dynamic, once-in-a-universe individuals created to alter the course of history by simply being who we were created to be. I hope one day I will get to a place where I fully live that out unabashedly and share the wisdom with my children. In the meantime, I would be remiss if I did not advise you, dear reader, to strike all references of the word “just” when referring to anyone or anyone’s profession. If not, you might just get a taco thrown at you by yours truly. Just kidding. I would never waste a taco.

Follow Tracy on her blog, littleparentontheprairie. com. She would love to hear from you!

The best for you.

I really want my fiance to do a couples costume with me this Halloween. Ideally, I’d like to make it a tradition. However, he’s grumpy about Halloween and thinks getting dressed up is more trouble than it’s worth. How can I get him excited about it?

What do you consider the maximum age for trick-or-treating? Would you deny someone candy if they came to your door dressed up, but older than might seem traditionally appropriate? I’m asking for a friend.

My co-workers are planning a big “Thriller” flash mob for the week before Halloween.

This is my living nightmare. How can I get out of this without being seen as a bummer?

JR: Call off the engagement. You can’t trust people who refuse to dress up on Halloween.

They clearly are hiding something.

JR: I’m not sure of the maximum. But I turned 30 last month and already bought my Star Wars treat bag, so if you find out I’ve exceeded the maximum, I don’t want to know.

JR: It is very important to fit in at work. I believe Steve Jobs once said, “The way to career success is to blindly follow the pack.”

So forget your fear and practice your dance moves. I sense a promotion.

P.S. I never deny someone candy if they come to my door.

JW: 100 percent, this won’t happen and you’ll be fine. The same people who have grand plans of a ridiculous nature are also the same people that move on to the next shiny thing as soon as they see it. You’re fine, just play along until…ooooh lights!

JW: Uuuggghhh...so many jokes to make, so few appropriate. Sigh. Just call him a nihilist and tell him to cowboy up or he sleeps on the couch.

JT: Let him pick the costumes and offer to do most of the leg work, at least this first time.

You might end up out of your comfort zone, or more likely dressed as Princess Leia, but at least he’ll be a good sport.

JW: The maximum age for trick-or-treating is two years after death. Seriously, if a 30-something came to my door dressed as a ninja turtle, I would give him a beer and a high five.

The country as a whole spent $1.4 billion on adult costumes, $1.1 billion on child costumes and $350 million on pet costumes. Americans tend to spend more money on the holiday when it falls on a weekend.

5—21 The Farmer’s Almanac predicts October 5—21 to be the peak time to view fall foliage in South Dakota.

Leaves change color in the fall because the lack of daylight creates a chemical barrier between the leaf and the tree, which keeps it from receiving the water and nutrients it needs to make chlorophyll (the green pigment).

1880s

Was the decade George Renninger invented candy corn. When the iconic fall treat was first mass produced in the early 1900s, it was called “Chicken Feed” with the tagline, “Something worth crowing for,” according to bhg.com.

Naturalist Cortney Reedy has been working at Good Earth State Park for two years. Located southeast of Sioux Falls, the park offers mostly fall-themed hikes, but she says, there will be a Halloween-themed hike this year as well.

The third annual “Spirits of the Forest” hike will take place on October 9 and 10 around 7 p.m. Attendees can enjoy hot cider around a campfire after the hike has concluded.

Reedy says it’s a night hike that allows participants to experience the elements of the forest in a different way. The hope is for hikers to become more comfortable with the park, especially in the dark.

“We put wind chimes in the trees and we put little medallions in the forest and it’s just to kind of help people see it come alive,” said Reedy.

The Halloween-themed hike at the park is called the “Canine Halloween Hike and Costume Contest.” This hike starts at 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 24.

Reedy said it’s a costume contest for dogs with judges awarding prizes to the best-dressed.

Attendees are able to dress up if they would like as well. There will be a short hike to show off the dogs’ costumes after the contest.

South of Good Earth State Park is Newton Hills State Park. Assistant Park Manager John Dummer of says the park will host its fall-themed “Candlelight Walk” on Saturday, October 3 from 7:15 to 9:30 p.m.

Candles will be placed along the forest path where participants will come across entertainers and musicians and can also play games.

Dummer explains that the route is about 2.2 miles and normally over 900 people attend. This will be the 16th year Newton Hills State Park has offered the hike.

“It’s something truly amazing, especially if you have never walked along a candlelit road out in the woods before – which for most people, it probably has never happened, especially since three percent of land in South Dakota is classified as ‘forested,’” said Dummer.

Program naturalist Sandy Richter at the Outdoor Campus says their "Super Hero Halloween Hike" will run from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 17. The Outdoor Campus is located in south Sioux Falls.

According to Richter, costumes are encouraged for this hike. She says they are hoping to see many super heroes running around the Outdoor Campus for the event.

While the hike is geared more toward four to 12 year-olds, Richter insists anyone is welcome to come enjoy the event. It will include activities

at this hike. Our goal is to educate.”

This will be the 17th year the Outdoor Campus has put on the Halloween Hike, with last year’s turnout reaching 1,300 people, a large increase from their usual 800 to 900 attendees.

Richter says the hike is a fun event and even though it’s a Halloween hike, it won’t be scary.

“It’s a neat, family-friendly activity. We have a lot of people who come every year, so it’s a tradition in their families.”

If you're unable to attend these events, all three state parks are open to the public year-round for hiking and other outdoor and educational activities.

“We just feel the best way to showcase nature and science is to be in it,” said Reedy. “Just to be in the classroom of nature.”

Other events throughout the state include: “A Haunted Fort” at Fort Sisseton Historic State

to educate the public on nature, as well as discuss the importance of preserving resources.

Participants will be able to enjoy s’mores after the hike until 6:30 p.m.

Park near Lake City on October 10 at 1 p.m., “Halloween Hike” at Custer State Park on October 23 at 5:30 p.m., and “Trick or Treat Trails” starting at 4:30 p.m. on October 25 at LaFramboise Island Nature Area in Pierre.

“The purpose is to get people outside, and we are taking advantage of the Halloween holiday,” she said. “We don’t hand out candy

DIY BY Aryn Hollaren

Ditch the boring old serving bowls and dish your dip in a gourd at this year’s Halloween party.

WHAT YOU NEED: ▶▶

Gourd or squash

▶▶

Knife

▶▶

Large metal spoon

Autumn Squash Bowl COST:

SKILL LEVEL:

DIRECTIONS: Follow these same steps with a pumpkin, and you can use it as a larger serving bowl or as an ice bucket. ▶▶

Pick out the size and shape of gourd that you will need. Small ones work well if you want to put the dip directly in the gourd, but you can get one a little larger if you prefer to keep the dip in its original container and place that in the gourd.

▶▶

Use the knife to cut around the stem in the size you would like the opening of your bowl to be.

▶▶

Remove and discard lid.

▶▶

Hollow out the gourd by scooping out the insides with a spoon, making sure the interior is smooth.

▶▶

Once the inside is clean, fill it with dip, snacks, or flowers. Use Immediately.
