Scare homes

Ghoulish figures and skeletons are among props used to fashion eye-catching houses of horrors.

Danielle Davies, from Denton, told the M.E.N.: "I have always loved Halloween. It is one of my favourite times of the year. I do this every year for the children and adults as I love to see their little faces light up with happiness and creating a memorable experience for them."

Danielle added: "Next year I am doing my back garden" While she's not sure exactly what her plans are for the back garden next year just yet, she promised us it will be 'spooktacular! Joanne Booth from Bury started putting up decorations for Halloweenmad daughter Naomi, eight, around four years ago. Joanne told the MEN: "I have a little girl called Naomi and her favourite time of the year is Halloween.

"She absolutely loves it, so every year we collect Halloween decorations and each year it gets bigger. Naomi is always saying she would love to live in America just for the Halloween decorations, so we looked into making the decorations from America on TikTok." "This is where we got the idea of the head chopper and the skeleton with the green sick. Naomi also loves to see all the other children's faces and making them smile with a bag of sweets." Hannah Hewitt from Hyde has built up her decorations over several years.

It's not just Halloween for Hannah either, as it's also her birthday.
