‘Haunted’ mansion in Australia on the market for only $1M

It’s the stuff of nightmares — and it could be yours for $1 million.

A stunning historical mansion is up for sale in Australia — but it looks more like a something out of a horror movie.

The current owners of the 28,000-sqare-foot Adelaide home, called Woodforde House and built in 1856, are huge Halloween fans who packed some of its rooms with terrifying mannequins and fake creepy crawlies — and the realtor is keeping them there as he attempts to sell the property.

“The family of six best describe the fun and good times as Mrs Bates” in the Hitchcock movie “Psycho,” the listing says, adding that they wanted it to look like “the house on the hill.”

“If you are a scaredy-cat, don’t come. Watch the cobwebs, and don’t wear a suit,” warns the listing for the house, which contains a small chapel, a roof-top viewing deck and two cellars.

A portrait of shock-rocker Alice Cooper wearing a straight-jacket hangs on one of the walls, photos show.

The creepy decor is being kept intact before an auction later this month — where the five-bedroom house is expected to go for just over $1 million, agent Anthony Toop told Australian real estate site Domain.

“I’ve never seen a house as fascinating as this in 40 years,” Toop said. “The owner’s favorite pastime was crafting Halloween items … she just loved it and it’s why we’ve left them there. It’s pretty cool.”

Toop says the two-story, blue-stone mansion is huge for the neighborhood and could prove a dream buy — for someone who can get over the nightmare decor.

“Agents Note: Brave people only, leave the kids at home or keep them supervised. Watch the steps,” his listing reads.
