Family spend £1k on Halloween home makeover
A Halloween-obsessed father and son have spent £1,000 transforming their Cheshire house into a Halloween landmark.
Toby Whittle, 27, and his father, Andy, 55, have overhauled their semi-detached house on the Weston Estate, in Macclesfield, into a spooky spectacle every year since 2017.
The pair have spent £100 on creepy decorations and £75 on sweets for the hundreds who are expected to travel from up to 30 miles away to see the attraction on 31 October
“For us, it’s one of Britain’s spookiest houses,” Toby said.
“My dad came up with idea originally,” he said.
“He wanted to do something for the kids in the neighbourhood.”
What “started off small” with just a few decorations has grown year-on-year.
The haunted garden features skeletons resting in deckchairs, ‘limbs’ scattered across the driveway and flashing pumpkins.
A five-foot spider and a soundtrack of growling wolves and cackling witches also feature in the display.
“When you’ve got the kids there, the drive’s full of people and the whole community is there watching, it’s nice to see,” Toby said.
Before visitors can reach the boarded-up front door, they are confronted by flashing demons inside the cars parked on the drive.
The Whittles estimate about 500 people turned up outside their house last Halloween, and they expect more this year.
