Seen from far away the house of the Sharp's looks just like any other. When you get closer things change. It is like Halloween is happening today. Inside of the house the decoration is just as good as outside: pumpkins, vampires, witches, spiders, superman and many more fabulous characters. These must cost a fortune but their not. Each year after Halloween the family buys other peoples decorations almost for free.
Melissa Sharp, 30, is a young mother of three. Each year she likes to decorate the house two months in advance. She makes a point out of heaving the most frightening house in the town. She tries to rise her children in the same free spirit that she has inherited from her mother. Her husband, Andrew Sharp, 36, spends most of his time working and when he has free time he spends it with his family.
Andrew Sharp leaves the house to go to work. He works as a manager at a McDonalds in Rolla, a 9-mile drive from St. James.
