Ok, so me and my friends have a big-ass mansion (we're talking 300 square meters + basement + 1 hectare of yard space). We want to throw the best possible Halloween party we can and we know that in Finland Halloween has never been too big of a thing, but we want that whole spooky mansion thing to happen.
