An epic annual Halloween display in a Morecambe man's front garden has pulled large crowds and raised more than £3000 for CancerCare.
Every year for the past four years, Chris Dickson has decorated his front garden on South Road in Morecambe into a mini-scare park for families to visit on Halloween.
Hundreds travel from all over the area to see his life-size inflatable and animatronic creatures, which this year opened up to the public on the evenings of October 30 and 31.
The landscape gardener, who runs his own business The Lawn Ranger, got into the spooky spirit by dressing as hit horror character Beetlejuice as South Road was packed with people enjoying the display. They included TV's the Radford Family from Morecambe, pictured below.
The display raised £1513.66 which was doubled to £3027.72 plus an additional £41 from people who used a QR code to donate.
Chris was diagnosed with bladder cancer at the age of 37 but is now cancer-free after a seven-year battle against the disease, which included 92 doses of chemotherapy and an operation to install a new bladder.
"Thank you to all the businesses that have supported the event, people that helped setting up and taking down the display and people that helped on the night handing out sweets," said Chris in a post on his Facebook page.
He also thanked his wife Sharon and everyone who came along to enjoy the display.
Chris also thanked Mark Stanway and Emily Thompson from BB's Snack Bar, his father-in-law Arthur who helped build new Halloween characters for the display, Rachel Macfarlane from Team Reece for lending some items for the display, and the Lancaster Ghostbusters who came along on Thursday to entertain the crowds.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said.
"Same time next year folks, but bigger I promise!"
