Psychiatric Hospital

but that didn't even come into my mind.

And I was driving past, saw the sign...

BETH:
And as soon as we

saw this building we said...

JULIA:
Yeah, as soon as we saw this

building, this is just perfect.

We actually had to find somewhere that

was a huge building, had some land,

for the maze and, you know,

a forest, and it was perfect.

BETH:
It had some atmosphere.

JULIA:
Yeah. So, you don't

want to give it up too easily.

INTERVIEWER:
Excuse me.

Do you think this place

gives you weird dreams?

What do you think it's like on your brain,

having these sort of double

lives and scaring people

and then being normal

at your normal job and...

SAM:
I reckon it could be

unhealthy, to be honest.

Like, you could, like,

persuade yourself that you're,

like, a character that isn't real.

I don't know.

Like, I've never thought about that before.

I reckon that is pretty, like, unhealthy

but then actors do it, like, in movies.

MICHELLE:
Honestly, I

have a lot of nightmares.

(PHONE RINGS) I have quite

a problem with nightmares.

And I can't even really remember...

I remember them when I

wake up in the morning,

but then I forget.

But, yeah, I certainly have

more nightmares than dreams.

(ANSWERS PHONE)

Good afternoon, Spookers.

Hi.

(CHAINSAW NOISE)

INTERVIEWER:
Can you remember

your dreams last night or this morning?

- HUIA:
My dreams?

- INTERVIEWER:
Yeah.

HUIA:
Oh, those are fun.

I have lots of those.

(SPOOKY MUSIC)

HUIA:
Life's hard.

It is.

INTERVIEWER:
Why?

HUIA:
I don't know, stress, people.

You've got to like people.

Then you've got to dislike people.

The struggles, the struggles of life.

Yeah.

But then you have people like Bubbles,

and Puppy and Bunny...

make life all better.

SPEAKER:
Oh, it's OK.

Bubbles and Puppy are here for you.

(BARKS AND GROWLS)

BETH:
About 1990 I got really sick

and it turned out that I

had an auto-immune disease.

But that took a long time to diagnose

and I was quite ill for a long time.

And we had a business at the

time, which we had to sell

because we couldn't manage to run it.

But we went on to do other things.

If I hadn't had that time,

we wouldn't have had Spookers.

At that stage we were growing

around 200, 300 ha of maize

and I saw a little wee

sentence in a newsletter

that I was reading on the internet that

said, "Have you seen the maize maze?"

And as soon as I saw that sentence,

everything just became

absolutely crystal clear.

ANDY:
We started with a

day maze and then one night

we got a whole lot of our friends

into the maze in the evening

and we thought we'd try it.

So it just sort of developed and, you

know, we just used the local farmers
