In every community there is always one house that is favoured by every ghost and goblin, or these days by a super hero or a pop star, at Halloween. Whether known for giving out great treats or wearing amazing and freighting costumes. This holds true in the town of Norwich. For the last six years, Peter Luciani Senior and Peter Luciani Junior have set up their home at 39 Stover Street in Norwich with elaborate Halloween decorations. It usually takes them about two weeks to set up before the big day. Peter Luciani Senior explained that while living in Brantford, Ontario he owned a business, Luciani Fruit Market, where he had a haunted barn. So when he and his family moved to Norwich elven years ago, he used the same decorations. Over the years both Peters kept adding bigger and more elaborate decorations like a ferris wheel and a smoke making machine.

Last year the family saw about 400 children. “Cars were lined up; kids were coming in [to get their treats] then going back in the cars and driving off.” Peter Luciani Senior explained. The idea is not to scare the children too much but “figuring out ways to scare the adults” Peter Luciani Junior stated; “it’s all in fun.”
On Halloween night, the finishing touches were made and the extraordinary show was displayed. Sounds effects were also part of the celebrations with the theme song of "Ghostbusters" playing in the background along with spooky sounds of groans, screams and and cackles. They even had shadows of what look like four people slowing crawling at the window. According to Peter Senior, the effect was done using a projector. Peter Junior stood beside a witch's cauldron were Halloween treats were stored, probably to ensure that Trick or Treaters knew it was safe to stick their hands in to retrieve their goodies.
