Halloween-mad couple turn home into spook-tacular haunted house

Make no bones about it, William Howson and his wife Roslyn are Halloween-obsessed. And for the past 16 years they've transformed their home into a terrifying haunted house, welcoming trick-or-treaters from far and wide.

It takes seven weeks to get their house ready with displays spread over their living room, kitchen, bedroom, hall and garden. People queue up for hours to go through the house, which is adorned with hundreds of creepy decorations and scary mannequins.

William, 67, and Roslyn, 61, began the spooky attraction in 2006. Since then over 600 people have passed through their door in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, on Halloween.
