A COUPLE decided to go all out for Halloween this year when they decorated their house and garden.

Geoff Brooke and Tarra Bowerman, from the NDR estate, cracked open the coffins and spider webs for a Halloween party but have since had a lot of interest from passersby.

Geoff told the Mercury: “We just thought we’d make an effort for a party, which around 15 people attended, but we left the decorations up after.

“Since then neighbours have been taking photos and people have been commenting how great it looked.

“It’s the first time we’ve done it but, because we’ve had such a positive response, we’re thinking of doing it again next year and going even bigger with a coffin for a door and things.”

For "all out", read "to Poundland".

I am not sure what is sadder;
These people doing this or the Mercury thinking it could be of any interest to us.
