WHAT’S WITH THE NAME?
Our name comes from a game we created when we were kids. It went like this: One of us would wait upstairs while the others went down to the basement and constructed an improvised haunted house using anything we could find. It was fun. It was thrilling. It was us asking “what if?” and following our imagination while using the resources at our disposal.
Today we imbue that same curiosity, creativity, and playfulness into every video we produce.
The door’s open. Welcome to Haunted Basement Productions.
