A Manor Lakes street will be transformed into the zombie apocalypse next week when it throws the ultimate Halloween bash.
Hundreds of locals are expected to descend on Dalrymple Boulevard for the Manor Lakes Monster Madness on October 31 from 5-9pm. There’ll be a realistic graveyard, animatronics, life-size audio projections, spooky audio-visual effects and treats for trick-or-treaters.
The event had humble beginnings, starting six years ago when Canadian-born Andrew Price and his wife Maria moved to Manor Lakes and found themselves trying to one-up their American neighbours Steph and Hayden with their Halloween decorations.
“They were big into Halloween as well and we were having fun decorating, trying to one-up each other … it got to a point where neighbours started coming by, asking questions and taking photos,” Mr Price said.
“We decided to have a big Halloween bash and invited a whole bunch of friends and people in the community.”
Last year, the group decided to take advantage of crowds and turn it into a fundraiser for the Starlight Foundation, raising $400. This year, they hope to raise $1000 through gold coin donations.
