Located right beside Sunbury cemetery, 3 Donnelly Close, Jackson’s Hill sits idle throughout the year, waiting to transform into Sunbury’s house of horrors on the last day of October.
This year, the house will have a cannibalism theme, and will include ‘flesh’ char grilled on a spit roast.
Sunbury resident Patrick Blume started decorating his house in 2016, and introduces a different theme every year.
“The weird thing is I’m not a horror fan, you’ll never catch me watching a scary movie… but I love making things and building,” Mr Blume said.
“I like to do something new every year… so people can come back and have a different experience. It’s the creation process that’s the fun part.”
Mr Blume said Halloween will include a walk through experience, where he will be waiting with another actor to scare those who dare to enter.
“Last year we did a zombie disposal unit [and] this year I am going for a cannibal theme [where]… I’m going to barbecue someone on a spit roast,” he said.
“It’s not just the neighbourhood [that gets involved], people end up coming from all over Sunbury. Throughout the day I’ll have about a 1000 people come through.”
