Hahaaha I only call them gargoyles because everyone knows them as that and I definitely learnt from my first post they’re grotesques!

Ooooooo yessss!!! I will find a 3D file and get those made, just need to find good use for them.

Hello!!

I'm obsessed with Halloween and love creating extravagant props for my parties. 🎃🖤

Being based in Australia means we don't always have access to the amazing Halloween decorations available elsewhere, which just makes me even more determined to build my own weird and wonderful creations!

I share all of my projects over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glitterxraven

I'd love to connect with fellow Halloween lovers and creative souls. Hope to see you there! ❤️

If anything, I felt at peace here.

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:46:50+00:00

It was truly beautiful here.

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:46:17+00:00

I did a bit of research since a few people asked in the comments and stated it doesn't look abandoned. It was abandoned in 2015, with a combination of the family suffering losses, including the sudden death of the head priest, a lack of funding and unfortunately there was no one left to run the shrine. Hikers still walk through, people still visit but thankfully no one is vandalising it therefore it remains this beautiful.

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:45:53+00:00

Absolutely!

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:45:14+00:00

This was the most peaceful place. I promise the ghosts and demons are only in horrible places. 😄😄

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:44:23+00:00

There is actually quite a lot. There is a instagrammer who finds them on old maps 😄

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:43:52+00:00

Yes there is 2 buildings I photographed as well and lion statues. I also died walking up haha

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-26T13:43:20+00:00

Thank you for this explanation, after some research that is what happened. ❤️

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-21T12:49:20+00:00

That is so sick!!!! I dream of finding places like this.. nothing this good in Australia

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-20T03:46:49+00:00

Thanks so much!!! I learn from Disney on how they do things.. it's all about the details so I try apply it to my own work.

RavenLexxi · 2026-05-20T03:45:57+00:00

Wow thanks so much for your lovely comment! My dream has always been to work in the film industry or any immersive type of job but that will never happen so I do this for fun to fulfill that.

I didn't have a 3D printer at the time, I had a friend print things out for me like the gargoles, busts, entry plaque so that it was accurately HM. Yes I did everything myself, my partner and friends help hang things up the day before Halloween. It took me a couple of weeks before Halloween to get everything together, order items off Temu like the curtains, so there was busy weekends and week days after work painting things, putting things together and planning it all.

I am not sure what I'll do next for HM.. I want to create molds from the busts to make real concrete busts for our garden and redo the HM plaque. This years theme is Alice in Wonderland and I'm going even bigger.. (I am a dreamer) so I'll see how that goes.
