Type in Program - Haunted House Demo

Since I was a child I had the book

"Write your own Program: Advanced Graphics: Haunted House"

(On Archive.org - https://archive.org/details/Write_Your_Own_Program_Advanced_Graphics_Haunted_House/page/n45/mode/2up )

but I never managed to type the whole thing in.

This far out I would have assumed someone, somewhere, would have uploaded a D64 of the final program. I've even toyed with a few apps/websites to OCR the text and auto-type it into Commodore Basic, with just enough errors in characters and syntax to make it not work. Not to mention, it's very hard to find the equivalent PETSCII characters on a modern keyboard and emulator. I guess, despite there being monochrome pictures in the book, I always wondered how the final actually looked/sounded. Was anyone more tenacious than I? Or does anyone know of a disk rip? I didn't find it on the CSDB.

My ten year old self, endlessly flipping through the pages in the early 90s thanks you in advance!
