If you got it, haunt it

WHEATLEY – The home of Chris and Samantha Corless and their four kids on Pier Road in Wheatley is again transformed this year to all things Halloween.

For over 30 years, the last 10 in Wheatley, their collection of decorations sees their property turned into a boo-tiful sense of humour and playfulness.

It’s been a tough year for the folks in our town,” said Samantha. “I hope this gives them a little entertainment”.

The Corless home on Pier Road in Wheatley welcomes trick-or-treaters of all ages.

Over 40 totes of props, many homemade, are on display for the month of October and numerous passersby stop and snap a quick picture. Closer to the big day, more items are added as weather permits.

Sporting a big smile, Samantha eagerly adds, “We’re a mix between the Munsters and the Addams family, inside the house as well as outside.”

When asked if she tears it all down in November and starts with Christmas items, she responded immediately with, “Nope, I’m a Halloween girl.”
