Man turns home into Halloween horror for charity

Mr Butler has spent more than a week creating six themed areas

A fundraiser has transformed his driveway into a seasonal house of horrors for charity.

Darren Butler, 35, has created six themed areas including a "chop shop" at the property on Whitmore Road in Whitnash, Warwickshire.

The attraction is open to the public on Tuesday, with proceeds to be donated to BBC Children in Need.

He has already raised £5,690 for the cause this year, and hopes the spooky venture will take the total to £6,000.

The House of Halloween is made entirely out of wooden pallets and has taken more than a week to build.

Thanks to neighbourhood assistance, it stretches across three driveways in total and, making use of marquees, includes a circus, pumpkin patch and graveyard area, plus one dedicated to spiders.

"I've always liked Halloween so when I moved here I wanted to do something bigger and use all the decorations I had," Mr Butler said.

Mr Butler's neighbours have joined in and allowed him to use their driveways as part of the fundraiser

Last year, the event welcomed more than 600 trick or treaters and raised £2,800 for charity.

Mr Butler explained: "I enjoy doing it and last year the feedback was amazing. I like helping people and raising money."

People can visit The House of Halloween from 16:00 until 20:00 GMT.
