As Halloween night begins, the sounds of excitement and screams fill the air at the Blood River Haunted House , drawing in eager visitors from the neighborhood.
Located on Wood River Drive, this haunted house has become a beloved annual event, created by the Tierney family in honor of a fallen brother and friend. The couple started this project years ago with a vision – not only to entertain, but also to strengthen community ties.
“It brings the community together. It gives you the opportunity to be what you want to be. All the kids come out, including the teenagers, and it gives them something to do,” J.D. Tierney said. “It keeps them off the streets and gives them a neighborhood experience.”
The haunted house officially opened its doors around 5 p.m. and will continue to welcome visitors throughout the Halloween season, as long as the crowds keep coming. With a blend of live actors, animations, and carefully crafted scares, attendees are treated to a thrilling experience that leaves them wanting more.
