HALLOWEEN week is among us and for many that means getting into the spooky spirit of things.

Thursday (October 31) will once again see Flintshire and Wrexham adorned with pumpkins, ghosts, spiders and more to set the scene.

Halloween decorating ideas have come a long way since the simple skeleton and witches cauldron times, with families across the UK spending hundreds of pounds on creating a jaw-dropping spooky scene.

And it's no different in our local area, with readers already having sent in some of their fabulous creations to us this week.

Angela Rippon sent us in this video of her Caia Park home which is well and truly ready for trick and treaters to enjoy...

Several other top efforts have also been sent in to us and can be viewed via the gallery at the top of this article.
