He said: ???We frequently visit local Halloween attractions and I???ve always been fascinated with the idea of building a haunted house. ???Since a full-blown haunted house is a ton](https://viralnews.world/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Halloween-superfan-spends-6K-on-decorations-and-claims-neighbours-love-150x150.jpg "Halloween superfan spends £6K on decorations and claims neighbours love them")
