It was all in good fun. Scary — but not too scary — fun.

The Blind Scream Haunted House is back through Oct. 31 in Santa Rosa after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic, as well as a previous season cut short by wildfires.

It was worth the wait. The new expanded haunted house, which is said to be two houses in one, is located in the old Sears building at 1st and South A streets at Santa Rosa Plaza.

It has many new characters following the 12-year story of Doc Hunter, his daughter, Mary Annette, and son Horrus, as well as other relatives.

New this year is the Witch House, with all three of Doc’s horrifying sisters, the Voodoo Witch, the Black Witch and the Gypsy Witch.
