COULD this be Warrington's best Halloween display of 2023?
Well it's certainly one of the most impressive in the town, and it's all for charity, too.
Andy Czyzewski lives in Thelwall, and makes it his personal mission to put on an amazing Halloween display every year.
Last year, Andy's display managed to raise nearly £500 for charity thanks to the donations of those who enjoyed his 'spooktacular' show.
Lots of the displays are handmade by Andy, who spends much of the build-up to Halloween constructing various elements for his impressive Halloween showcase.

Included in this year's display are a full-size coffin with motors and motion sensor, a cackling witch in a rocking chair which moves, and a decaying full-size animated skeleton grave digger with a spade.
Perhaps one of the most impressive elements of the Thelwall display is a handmade zip wire that runs the length of Andy's garden and sees a ghost fly above the heads of anyone who visits.
Down a nearby grid there is a simulation with a motion sensor-activated sound box playing scenes from the IT movie when people walk past and the face of Pennywise the clown is inside the grid.
The displays are all in aid of raising money for Cheshire Dogs Home, and Andy raised £450 in donations for the charity last year.
Speaking to the Warrington Guardian about his display in 2022, Andy said at the time: "I wondered if I had over done it, but seeing the smiles on those passing by, it's definitely worth the large electric bill I'll probably be facing."
He added in 2022: "Most importantly, I'm collecting donations for Cheshire Dogs Home, which is a wonderful local charity, that needs all the help it can get.
"Also, my two-and-a-half year old daughter Cayla, who is fascinated by the new things I add each day, has a response of 'Daddy, what have you done to my house?'"
Andy is keen to point out that if anyone wishes to visit his display this year, which is off Deans Wharf, in Thelwall, they walk to the display - as part of a small community, increased traffic in the area can cause the nearby roads to jam.
