Incredible Halloween House where Chesterfield residents are flocking - with a scare maze and 'real' monsters

‘Spooksville’ on Foxstone Close, is hosting a special event today to mark Halloween.

The spooky celebration will include a walk through of the haunted house, a scare maze and for those extra feeling brave, real monsters will be on hand to jump out and give to you a good fright.

Main organiser John Keeton, with help from son-in-law Michael Bower, have put on Spooksville 2022 to raise money for charity.

Michael said: “We did it as a bit of fun for the first year in the garden shed and put up a few decorations.

"Everyone said they liked it and we had so much positive feedback it just kept growing bigger.

“The front garden, back garden are now totally covered. There’s a massive scare maze. It’s family friendly with a ‘not scary walk through’ for the children to enjoy but for adults feeling brave enough they can have a scary one and actors jump out.”

The event has been a massive success during the five years it has run – with minibus loads of people turning up to see the attractions – but John, aged 70, said this will be the last time he turns his home into a haunted house.

He added: “This is the last year. I’m a bit old now I’ve been doing things like this for 30 years and it’s time to give it a rest.”

The event is running from 6pm to 10pm today. Entry is free but donations are being collected for charity.
