Last year, Toby posted videos of his father’s Halloween home on social media, one of which has had more than 12,000 views, and viewers have already confirmed their attendance this year
A Halloween -obsessed father and son have spent £1,000 transforming their house into a spooky landmark which draws families from miles around who queue to see their spine-chilling display.
They are now so invested in the tradition that Toby, who recently bought his own house in nearby Congleton with his partner Hannah, has obtained a Costco membership card to bulk buy treats and spends weeks making terrifying decorations, including a giant five-foot spider. “When you’ve got the kids there, the drive’s full of people and the whole community is there, stood watching, it’s nice to see,” Toby told PA Real Life.
Some of the most impressive features include a giant homemade spider by the entrance – made using a balloon, an exercise ball, expanding foam, pipes and wires – skeleton dogs and flashing pumpkins. Toby and his father purchased most of the decorations from stores including Home Bargains, B&M, The Range, Tesco and Asda.
Toby now finds himself hunting for Halloween decorations year round, in particular at car boot sales during the summer.Making sure they have enough sweets to dish out is a top priority for Toby and his father, who begin stocking up a month in advance.“We start buying them in September when the multi-bags and Christmas tubs come out.This year Toby is hoping to add a smoke machine if the weather allows and plans to start decorating the house a week in advance.
