"Enter at your own risk" - Take a look inside Kirkby's favourite Halloween house
Set to give you a fright, with clowns and skeletons walking around, please beware of the hanging severed hands and feet inside this house of horrors.
Kirkby Halloween enthusiasts Kirsty, aged 30, and Rob Haynes, aged 31, are hosting their fifth and final Halloween house and maze.

Harry Haynes, Rob’s father who was a massive part of the haunted attraction on Southwell Lane, died from heart disease aged 54, in February this year.
Kirsty, a mum-of-four, said their lives were “shattered” by this loss and decided that the money they raise this year will go toward a defibrillator in memory of Harry.
She said: “He was a massive part in our Halloween so we are doing one last Halloween house for him.

“We are raising money for a defibrillator, if we had one then it could have given him more of a chance.
“Maybe one day it could save someone’s life.”
The Haynes family are no strangers to raising money for good causes, in the past raising over £400 to A Dollar for Dawson and funds for The West Park Academy on Vernon Road where Kirsty’s children go to school.
They also plan to hold a raffle on the night to help raise extra funds.

“And, it is something we wouldn’t be able to do without family.”
The house’s signature maze is back, again with live actors.
And, a genuine coffin has been donated by Kirkby Co-op Funeral Care.
Kirsty said: “I have a coffin in my kitchen - it’s mad.

“We are happy for anyone to go through the maze, people can speak to me if they don’t want actors in the maze.
“But, people enter at their own risk.”
The house and maze on 37 Southwell Lane, Kirkby, is open over Wednesday, October 30 and Thursday, October 31, from 6pm.
