Wicked fun!

BROOKINGS – There’s been all sorts of spooky fun at the home of Carol Ann Klug at 816 Eighth Ave. in Brookings since this past weekend.

Klug has been hosting a haunted house at her home for the past 11 years during the Halloween season. 

Klug, below, will be busy handing out candy to trick-or-treaters tonight, but the haunted house is back open for business from 3-5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Above, Klug’s dining room has been transformed into a skeletal celebration for a “Wedding Too Late,” and below, scientist Juanita Kant, South Dakota State College electrical engineer Anne Straw and Wendy Jo, the wacky weatherwoman, gather for a witches’ meeting at the house.

Klug started her haunted house tradition back in the mid-1980s with her husband, and about 500 people attended each year.

Relatives, friends and neighbors pitch in each year to help make the attraction a success. Klug says the inside of the house is appropriate for kids 6 years and older, but the outside is great for everyone.
