Householder's scary show even has live actors

A fundraiser has transformed his property into a Halloween house of horrors - complete with live actors and animatronics.

Ben Alderton, 42, from Brackley, Northamptonshire, has spent two months creating a spooky immersive experience to raise money for the charity Parkinson’s UK.

He started his Halloween horror house event seven years ago, after his father, Keith, was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a condition where parts of the brain become progressively damaged.

Mr Alderton said he was attempting to outdo his previous efforts - and even has 16 live actors “scheduled to jump out” at visitors.

The spooky animatronics are based on horror movies and visitors can get tarot card readings.

Last year, Mr Alderton raised £856 - a figure he is hoping to “smash”. He said the scary fun helped bring the community together and he hoped the money would help find a cure for Parkinson's Disease.

Entry to the Brackley Horror House, at 50 Orion Drive, is free. It is open on Thursday from 17:00 GMT – 23:00 GMT.
