About Skuffle
Skuffle is MIT’s student‑run haunted house and party, hosted by the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity and revived after a long hiatus. Our goal is simple: deliver a standout Halloween experience while doing real good in our community.
This year’s event benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), supporting leading research in the fight against breast cancer. Built by MIT students, Skuffle blends engineering and theater—immersive sets, practical and digital effects, and scares that keep you on edge from queue to finale.
Bring friends, brave the haunt, and stay for the party. Your ticket powers lifesaving research—and every scream helps.
Dates: [Oct 31–Nov 1] • Location: 530 Beacon St, Boston • Tickets: $10 • All ages; dry event.
This event benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). All net proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to BCRF.
