The spooky homes transformed for Halloween
From vomiting workmen to glowing pumpkins, homes have been turned into spook-tacular wonderlands across the West Midlands for Halloween.
Jodie Fisher's house in Longbridge, Birmingham, has been overtaken by ghosts, skeletons and plenty of other ghouls - all with the aim of raising money for charity.
The mother-of-six said she expected more than 100 people to visit, with her haunting modifications in aid of Birmingham Children's Hospital.
Her home on Hewell Close is currently undergoing its own renovations which the family have used to their advantage to add extra eerie touches.
"The kids think I'm a witch," the Halloween enthusiast said.
"I like my healing crystals and I've had spooky things happen.
"I'll be wearing my purple cloak and dressing up as a witch, obviously."
Ms Fisher has put on the display for the past three years and creates a lot of the ambitious set herself with her children.
Her mother Ingrid, who lives three doors down, was also getting involved, dressing up in a scary nun outfit.
Last year, the display attracted more than 100 visitors.
"I'm expecting a lot more this year," Ms Fisher said. "We've got a cauldron full of sweeties."
She said she would be turning her Halloween lights on at about 16:30 GMT and asking anyone who came down to consider donating to the children's charity.
Brandon House care home in Coventry is also getting its creepy on to celebrate Halloween.
They created spiders using expanding foam, paint and swimming equipment.
A building, which was used for visitors during Covid, has been turned into a witch's lair with mystical music, a cauldron, fireplace and the sound of screaming cats.
The decorations will feature in a trick-or-treat event for the local community, which will be held on Thursday evening.
In Shropshire, Anthony Jackson is using his spooky display to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK after a close friend of the family died from the disease.
His collection of skeletons, in Craven Arms, have been attracting hundreds of visitors.
"We've had nothing but positivity to be honest," the 49-year-old said.
"Everyone thinks it's wonderful - people want to know what they can do to help and they're amazed at how much time we've spent doing it. "
The house had already raised about £300, he added.
