The Beetlejuice-themed Halloween House turning heads in town

A couple known for their extravagant Halloween displays have 'gone big this year' with a Beetlejuice-themed transformation.

Louise and Vinny Towler, who always decorate their house on Crow Lane West in Newton-le-Willows for Halloween, have previously chosen scary movie themes such as Jeepers Creepers and Netflix series Stranger Things. And this year, they have gone even 'bigger and more detailed' by putting together an amazing display outside their home with figures and props based on the Tim Burton film.

Speaking to the ECHO, Louise said: "We've gone big this year. People always say 'how are you going to top that?' So we end up going bigger and more detailed every year. We've had loads of interest on social media this year because of the new Beetlejuice film."

Everything on display outside their home is made by Louise and Vinny themselves, with a little help from their kids, who are aged 11, 15, 16 and 18. It took the couple around a month to construct.

Louise said: "This year, we've used 42 tins of expanding foam and three big insulation boards for the gravestones. We made the snake out of traffic cones and duct tape and black and white shrink wrap.

"We had to use a lot of power tools, so the kids just help with a bit of painting. The two 'Hunter Heads', Bob and Harry the Hunter, were made using a 3D printer."

Since unveiling this year's display two days ago, Louise and Vinny have been inundated with visitors. Louise added: "The garden's full of people. The doorbell doesn't stop at the moment."

The couple are using the display to raise funds to buy Christmas presents for kids. Last year, they raised nearly £1,500 with their Wednesday-themed display, using the money to buy Christmas gifts for 20 needy kids, as well as giving money to their local foodbank. They also gave Christmas presents to five elderly people with no family living in a St Helens care home.
