Jackie Mayes transformed her home in Askham Avenue, Kingsway, into a House of Horrors complete with scary characters who jumped out at willing victims.

Trick or treaters who were brave enough to enter the House of Horrors walked through a dark and cramped spooky maze complete with bats, scary clowns, zombies and a chainsaw.

The House of Horrors was also raising money for a good cause through donations by trick or treaters to We Mind and Kelly Matters, a charity set up to remember Kelly Hewitt, who had struggled with mental health issues.

Jackie's family knew Kelly and said they hoped fundraising for the charity would help tackle the stigma around mental health.

The House of Horrors raised a total of £169, which Jackie said was not bad for a few hours work.

They raised £132 from the House of Horror, including a £50 donation from Sarah O'Grady.

Jackie said she wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that helped her out on the night, as she would not be able to do it without them.
