I'm supporting Make-A-Wish this Halloween!

Make-A-Wish® Australia creates inspirational wishes for children with critical illnesses. There are currently more than 900 kids on a Wish Journey - with every donation, we are one step closer to making the wish of every eligible Australian child come true. Thank you for your support.

Trick or Treat!

Did a little shopping on the weekend to make sure we have plenty of treats to hand out to any ghost, ghouls or goblins who pay the Nightmare on Marshall Street a visit on Halloween....

Updated costumes!

By Crom! My Conan the Barbarian costume is finished and ready to dominate the neighbourhood this Halloween. :)

Costumes!!

I was hoping to be a bit more frequent with these blog posts but sadly life intervenes.

Besides the house decorations another important part of Halloween is of course COSTUMES!! Especially for someone like me who usually posts on Facebook and Instagram as David's Cosplay Adventures.

For 2025 my 7 year old has asked to be Wednesday Addams, my 4 year old would like to use his He-Man cosplay I built for him to wear at Comic Gong earlier this year. While my 2 year old would like to be "Matman" (Batman).

As for myself, I plan on two costumes for the night: The first to align with my Son I plan on being Conan The Barbarian. But as it gets darker and colder to make my daughter's night I will trade the leather and long hair for a pin stripe suit and moustache as Gomez Addams.

I'm still waiting for a lot of my Conan costume parts to arrive, fingers crossed they should be on hand early next week. :)

What about you? What are your costume plans?

October 1st

It’s the first day of Halloween and my daughter helped me get most of our decorations up in the front yard 👍🎃👻💀👽

Looking good for this year, we have one QR code up so far for donations but more will follow 👍

I'm fundraising for...Halloween

Greetings to all the ghosts and goblins out there,

Growing up on a steady diet of The X-Files, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, developing a strong interest in folklore and mythology and being fascinated by real world claims of the paranormal has left me with a deep affinity for Halloween.

Since 2019 we've been "that house" on Marshall Street Dapto that goes all in for Halloween decorations and while we've always been popular with passer-bys and trick or treaters I felt that this year it was time to give something back to the community by registering with Make A Wish to raise a little money for a good cause.

I hope to keep you all updated as the house is decorated and Halloween costumes come together and I hope you can help by making a donation to help Make A Wish this Hallowish.
