RESIDENTS in south Cumbria have started putting up Halloween decorations to celebrate the spookiest time of the year.

The Mail asked their readers to share photos of the best Halloween-decorated houses and displays in town.

Chelsea said her children are the 'inspiration' to put so much effort into the decorations.

For Heather, her son's love for Halloween is what motivates her to work on the outdoor display.

Gill Cooper did a good job of turning her home in Barrow into a haunted house with frightening dolls and light displays.

Our reader Patrick Fairley said he has been decorating his house since 2015 as he 'always loved Halloween.'

He said: "Since I was young I always went trick-or-treating. I always loved Halloween since I was young. I have a love for horror movies and it is my favourite time of the year.

"I like to make up bags for trick or treating as well because I like the kids to have fun and a good time."
