Is this the spookiest pub in Tyneside? The Black Bull in Gateshead decks up for Halloween

This pub has become well known for its spectacular Halloween decorations - and they have gone all out once again this year.

The Black Bull, on Mulgrave Terrace, in Gateshead , has been getting a spooky makeover at Halloween for around six years.

And the customers love it.

The decor includes skeletons, animated creatures, 7ft clowns, spider webs and a range of other ghouls.

Manager Keith Shevill said: "We do this because we love doing it - it's just good clean fun.

"We started out a few years ago, buying bits and pieces, but it grew from there and we started adding other things to the collection.
