Family’s house of horror

Home decorated in special Halloween theme for charity

A BLOODTHIRSTY family have gone the extra mile to spook their neighbours with a special Halloween extravaganza.

Dawn and Malcolm Campbell have decked out their Aberdour Place home to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

With the help of their 12-year-old daughter Amy, the pair have spent the last five days transforming their home into a terrifying haunted house complete with lighting and special effects.

After losing Dawn’s mum to pancreatic cancer on October 15 last year, the family are continuing their efforts to raise money for the charity.

Dawn, 51, said: “We’ll be putting the collection bucket out again. Last year we raised about £200 but even £100 would be great.

“Every year the kids love it and we love doing it. We just can’t stop.

“There’s a lot of stuff we have got already that we cannot buy again this year.

“We’ve been looking in all the shops but it’s mainly stuff we’ve already got in our collection.”

Malcolm’s work i n computing means that he’s been able to go the extra mile to create a range of professional effects.
