A LIVERPOOL couple have been crowned the owners of 'Britain's scariest house'.
Katie Griffiths, 27, and her partner have transformed their home with giant spiders, eerie tombstones, menacing skeletons, and live performers.
The terrifying display impressed judge and Halloween enthusiast Darren Butler, who named it the best in the country in a nationwide search by Aldi.
Darren Butler, 35, from Anfield, said: "I was truly blown away by the sheer creativity and imagination on display.
"Katie's house stood out from the crowd with its incredible attention to detail.
"That entry gate is a stroke of genius.
"The overall impact is fabulous and a true testament to their dedication to the spooky season."
Ms Griffiths said: "We're thrilled to be crowned Britain’s Scariest House.
"We've poured our hearts into creating this display for the past five years.
"It started with Halloween parties, then evolved into a way to bring some spooky joy to the community during lockdown, and now it has become a way to support two incredible charities, Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool and Zoe's Place Baby Hospice.
"This win is a dream come true."
"It's inspiring to see how much effort they put into creating such a spooktacular experience for their community, all while supporting important local causes.
"We’re delighted to announce them as our winner and contribute to their fundraising efforts."
The couple's haunting haven has been a neighbourhood staple for five years, initially starting as a fun party project.
