A Merseyside home has been transformed into a "haunted house" that anyone can visit.
Stephen Henshall and his family have turned their house on Sidney Road, Southport, into a gothic lair, ready for Halloween.
Their home is covered in thousands of lights, as well as Halloween decorations and a "graveyard".

Music is connected to the bulbs so that songs are synchronised with the lights.
Stephen says sequencing just one song can take up to 50 hours of work.
He told the ECHO : "When we first moved to Southport in 2001, we covered the house in coloured lights for Christmas.
"We were some of the first people in Southport to take lighting seriously. Since then, we have challenged ourselves and our display in 2016 drew crowds of spectators.
"Our 2019 show had more than 23,000 lights, and raised almost £1600 for Freshfields Animal Rescue.
"The 2020 show was cancelled due to the pandemic, but we are back. Our Halloween show will run across two nights, free of charge, with plenty of sweets, hot dogs and hot chocolate."
People who attend are asked to give a donation for Freshfields Animal Rescue, a charity which cares for abandoned, abused and unwanted pets.
The event is being sponsored by Southport Funeral Care.
Len Coleman of Southport Funeral Care says the lights "bring out a great community spirit".
The shows will run from 6pm on Saturday and 5pm on Sunday (October 30 and 31).
