Debbie and Clive Duport, are opening their house up for Halloween once again this year, to raise money for the Guernsey Alzheimer's Association.
The pair have transformed their home into a spooky haunted house, open to adults and children for a small donation.
They first decided to hold the event two years ago after being inspired by Debbie's brother, Paul Skipton, who held a similar fundraiser in Bournemouth.
"He was moving house and wasn't doing it last year, so I asked if I could borrow stuff to do the same thing," she explained. "I chose Guernsey Alzheimer's because I wanted to keep it local and my dad and close friends are suffering from it."

This year is likely to be the last time the Duports offer the event, with the majority of the decorations being moved back to the UK in the near future.
"This year's entrance isn't as scary as last year's," Debbie added. "There are blow-up pumpkins to greet you and it is bright and colourful until you get to the kitchen! Then you get to the body parts, but to distract [the children] I have given them two competitions to do. The first one is to find eight witches and the other is to find the fairy door. Also, if they are nervous, we have a playroom as soon as they walk in - last year it was only used for about six children for a couple of minutes and then they came out."
