Trick-or-treaters will be out in force across Wales this evening as they mark Halloween.
While most homes will be adorned with carved pumpkins, spiderwebs and skeletons, one house in Cardiff has taken 31 October to a whole new level.
Danny and Carmela Hargreaves' property in Cardiff Road, Llandaff is like something from a film set and it's not surprising, as the couple are co-directors of a special effects company.
Doctor Who, Peaky Blinders and His Dark Materials are among the shows the pair have worked on.
Their skills have been put to good use at home, where the Hargreaves have gone all out to create a spectacularly spooky display to raise money for charity.
Dan and Carmela have already raised thousands for Dreams and Wishes and say they "enjoy Halloween more than Christmas".
The couple has recreated some iconic Christmas films in their front garden over the years, including Die Hard and Gremlins.
Their impressive display this year features a towering inflatable Dracula and a huge glowing tentacle bursting from the window.
It took a week for the pair to put it together and Danny said: "I've got people standing outside my house looking.
"It's good fun, and there's a serious aspect because I do it for the Dreams and Wishes charity - they're a local charity and they help seriously ill children.
"We've got the bucket on the gate, I'm having a party to raise funds with some of my friends, and there's a website for it too."
