Amedeo Gallicchio and his family love Halloween.

For the past two years, Mr Gallicchio has built a spooky display in the garden on his Craigieburn home for his children and locals to enjoy.

This year’s display has a pirate theme, complete with a pirate ship built out of recycled and refurbished materials.

His wife, Jess, said construction works commenced more than a month ago.

“We have been in Halloween mode for a while now,” she said.

“My husband just really likes Halloween and likes to build stuff.

“We have gone bigger this year.”

The family is expecting a large crowd on October 31, after last year’s display drew people from all over Craigieburn despite not being advertised.

Halloween lovers young and old are encouraged to dress up for their visit to the display at 8 Swansea Court, with entry by gold coin donation.
