Matching haunted houses display 100 spooky items

Lewis Christie and Daniel James are raising money for charity with their spooky creation

Two neighbours have teamed up to create a matching set of haunted houses to raise money for charity this Halloween.

Lewis Christie and Daniel James have decorated their homes in Cricklade, Wiltshire, for Cancer Research UK, with more than 100 spooky items that took almost two months to create.

The display includes a grim reaper made from concrete and chicken wire, a coffin made from wood and a tree made from expanding foam.

Mr Christie said: "[It is] a masterpiece for Halloween. We've got grim reapers, witches, clowns, inflatables, spiders, just about everything."

Mr James added: "Some people may think we're a bit insane. But no, they also join in and have a laugh with us - they're good neighbours.

"We've done well this year, I'm quite proud of it. My favourite part has to be the Grim Reaper. We saw it online and thought we'd give it a try, he's turned out amazing.

The haunted houses are located at Lady Mead in Cricklade, near to Swindon

The neighbours have been putting on the display for five years.

"It's just got bigger over the years. Lots of people are happy to see it. There have been a lot of smiles and a lot of laughter. It's not all scary," Mr Christie said.

The haunted houses are located at Ladymead in Cricklade. As well as the opportunity to donate directly to Cancer Research UK.

Their Halloween enthusiasm has spread along the street, with other neighbours now putting elaborate decorations outside their homes.

Work started on the spooky homes just over a month ago

Mr Christie added the pair are "crafty" and enjoy the challenge.

"It's all for Cancer Research which is a charity close to lots of people, we thought it would be a good one to do it for," he added.
