00:02 During the year I go to a lot of garage sales

00:08 and things like that and just pick up little bits

00:10 and pieces too that people have got.

00:11 I sort of like, do a, I go around a lot of skip-ins

00:16 and things like that to get my material to build stuff.

00:18 But then once I get like a character or something

00:20 in my head, then I sort of like try to think of a backdrop

00:23 and yeah, go from there.

00:25 The kids love it.

00:26 - They love it. - Absolutely love it.

00:29 Even though it's scary, they love the jump scares,

00:31 they love being scared.

00:33 We had a bunch of kids last year come back multiple times

00:37 just to be scared.

00:38 Just to come and chase us and go,

00:40 come and scare me, come and scare me, come on.

00:42 So yeah, and I think the adults like it too

00:45 because the kids are enjoying it.

00:46 - And Halloween's getting more and more accepted now too,

00:49 sort of thing, so and everybody,

00:50 oh, there's a lot of people,

00:52 they just love dressing up like us.

00:53 We love dressing up and love entertaining.

00:55 - And it's also wheelchair accessible,

00:57 so you can drive through if they need to

01:00 and bring their wheelchair through.

01:02 - I've had the courage on people and sometimes

01:05 if they come in a small car and they can't get out,

01:07 they can drive around and have a look through.

01:10 Well, this is Annabelle's home

01:12 and I constructed her by,

01:15 I had some bricks that I collected from a lady.

01:19 It's got all the old beautiful heart stamps

01:21 and things like that in it.

01:22 And then the walls and all that,

01:25 I've collected the doors from the tip shop

01:27 and yeah, just sort of like had them on the ground,

01:31 stuck them together, stood them up.

01:34 Just more things for the garden

01:35 and I just thought, well, we could utilise it

01:38 for different things like that.

01:39 And I just love sitting out here of an afternoon,

01:41 like once the sun goes down,

01:43 it's nice sitting here in the shade with a little sherbet.
