    PHOENIX (KNXV) — One couple in Phoenix is turning Fright Night into a force for good.

For Braun and Colleen Jones, Halloween isn’t just about cobwebs and costumes; it’s about memories and meaning.

What started nine years ago as a small neighborhood gathering in honor of their late mothers, both lost to Alzheimer’s, has grown into a full-blown community celebration.

Each year, the Joneses transform their home into a haunted wonderland, complete with spooky decorations, themed rooms, and hundreds of guests.

But behind the haunted house is a mission to raise money for Alzheimer’s research and support families living with the disease.

The Joneses will be in attendance at the Alzheimer’s walk this Saturday.
