A woman has decorated her house for Halloween while also fundraising for a charitable cause.
Jodie Fisher's home in Longbridge, Birmingham, has been invaded by ghosts, skeletons, and a host of other spooky creatures.
The mother of six has included some dramatic elements such as workers throwing up, illuminated pumpkins, tombstones, and body bags.
The eerie changes have been made to support Birmingham Children's Hospital.
On Thursday, BBC Radio WM visited Hewell Close, where Ms. Fisher mentioned that she anticipated over 100 visitors.
Her house is currently being remodeled, and the family has taken the opportunity to create an even creepier vibe.

Skeletons have been displayed on scaffolding around the house.
"The children believe I'm a witch," remarked the Halloween aficionado. "I'm fond of my healing crystals, and I've experienced some eerie occurrences."
"I'll be donning my purple cloak and transforming into a witch, of course."

Jodie Fisher really enjoys Halloween.
Ms. Fisher operates her own creative enterprise that specializes in crafting customized gifts.
For the last three years, she has been showcasing her talents, often crafting many of the elaborate pieces alongside her kids.
Her mother Ingrid, who lives just a few houses away, decided to join in on the fun by donning a "frightening nun" costume.
Ms. Fisher's mother, Ingrid, is putting on a costume of a scary nun.
Last year, the exhibition drew in over 100 attendees.
"I'm anticipating much more this year," Ms. Fisher mentioned. "We've got a treasure trove of goodies."
She mentioned that she plans to turn on her Halloween lights around 4:30 PM GMT and encouraged anyone who stops by to think about contributing to the children's charity.
