From puking workers to glowing pumpkins, homes have been transformed into spooky wonderlands in the West Midlands for Halloween.
Jodie Fisher’s house in Longbridge, Birmingham, has been haunted by ghosts, skeletons and many other spirits – all to raise money for charity.
The mum-of-six said she expects more than 100 people to visit, with her quirky mods in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
Her home on Hewell Close is currently undergoing its own renovation, which the family have used to their advantage to add extra spooky touches.
“The kids think I’m a witch,” said the Halloween enthusiast.
“I like my healing crystals and I’ve had spooky things happen to me.
“Obviously I’m going to wear my purple cloak and dress up as a witch.”
Ms Fisher has exhibited the exhibition for the past three years and is creating much of the ambitious set herself with her children.
Her mother, Ingrid, who lives three doors down, also pitched in, dressed in a creepy nun outfit.
Last year the exhibition attracted more than 100 visitors.
“I expect a lot more this year,” Ms. Fisher said. “We have a cauldron full of sweets.”
She said she will switch on her Halloween lights at around 16:30 GMT and ask anyone who comes down to consider donating to the children’s charity.
Brandon House Nursing Home in Coventry is also getting spooky for Halloween.
They created spiders using expanding foam, paint and swimming equipment.
A building used for visitors during Covid has been transformed into a witches’ lair with mystical music, a cauldron, a fireplace and the sound of screeching cats.
The decorations will take part in a trick or treat event for the local community which will be held on Thursday evening.
In Shropshire, Anthony Jackson used his ghostly display to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK after a close family friend died of the disease.
His collection of skeletons at the Craven Arms attracts hundreds of visitors.
“To be honest, we’ve had nothing but positivity,” the 49-year-old said.
“Everyone thinks it’s wonderful – people want to know what they can do to help and are amazed at how much time we’ve spent on it.”
The house has already raised around £300, he added.
