Halloween house in March aims to raise more cash for charity

Tommy Kelly has put on a display at his home every year for 10 years

A man who spent months crafting a Halloween display at his house said he did so to "keep me out of the pub".

Tommy Kelly's home on Wisbech Road in March, Cambridgeshire, is adorned with "25 monsters and ghouls" as an attraction for families.

Mr Kelly has held a display at his home every year for 10 years and says it has helped raise up to £8,000 for charity.

This year's display features a zombie with "toxic waste" flowing from its mouth into a drum barrel.

"I'm a big fan of horror, I've always enjoyed it," said Mr Kelly.

He said that "lots of putty, latex, staples, pins" had gone into the construction of his "really scary house".

"People are very much on board with what we're doing. They love it, children love it. We only get positive comments," he said.

"It keeps me out of the pub. We just love having a laugh."
