Spooky Stuff, Part 1
The midnight hour is close at hand! Still need to get your Halloween on? Here are some ideas:
Ghost Tours: Get the spooky scoop on haunted cemeteries and buildings with Salt Lake’s paranormal experts. Dates and times here, Ogden tours included.
Thriller: Odyssey Dance Theatre’s Halloween variety show mixes homespun props and professional dancing. Our favorite part is the batch of living dead girls, ready to steal your seat … or your brain. Tickets and showtimes here.
Frightmares: Haunted amusement park? Yes, please (but only on weekends). Get more information here.
Haunted Canyon: Bundle up and cuddle up on the Heber Creeper’s version of a spooky train ride. Gather up the info here.
Bewitching Events: Head to Gardner Village for some of the cutest witches you can lay eyeballs on. There are teas, makeovers, scavenger hunts, carriage rides, dinner shows and more. See here.
Garden After Dark: The garden gets mystical with Red Butte Garden’s Garden After Dark featuring classics like haystacks, jack-o-lanterns, light displays and popcorn. The show is on this Thursday and Friday. Click here.
Night of the Living Dinosaurs: Jurassic Park becomes a “reality” in Ogden when Night of the Living Dinosaurs and Trail of Terror take over the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park, this weekend only. Details here.

Don’t be afraid to pass on the Scream Assylum in Provo. It felt quite amateur and not worth the money. If you’ve tried any of the other haunted houses listed, let me know if they were worth it. I love a good scare!
