WOODS CROSS — Sometimes, the trick can be more fun than the treat.

The Goodrich family is putting even more effort into their tricks with the return of their haunted house, which will be open tonight (Oct. 29) from 7-10 p.m., and Oct. 30-31 from 7-11:30 p.m. A trip through the house, which is located on 1843 W. and 1500 South in Woods Cross, is completely free.

“It kind of became a family project,” said Lucia McKeag, whose parents run the house. “The neighborhood kids couldn’t stop talking about our haunted house after we did it last year, and this year’s is way bigger and better.”

Tours of the haunted house will be guided, and will start with the story of the haunted house. Guests will then be led single file through the house, passing by several scenes including a creepy playhouse, an insane doctor, and a morbid dinner scene.

“It’s completely safe, just so long as everyone’s respectful and no one’s running through,” said McKeag. “We want everyone to have a good time. It’s going to be lots of fun.”
