A Halloween-loving Crayford family have turned their family home into a haunted house to raise money for a schoolboy with leukaemia.
Connie Woods, 41, her husband Mark, 43 and daughters Cheyenne and Rhiannon, 19 and 21, are inviting thrill seeking adults and kids into a creepy lair to raise money for little Denny Nassy.
Six-year-old Denny from Hastings is battling ALL Leukaemia for the third time while his little sister, three-year-old Marley fights the same illness.
Denny's family has organised a huge campaign to raise £500,000 for his Car-T treatment in the USA after doctors told his mum and dad chemotherapy was no longer working for the schoolboy.

Speaking to News Shopper, Connie said: "We've been doing our house up at Halloween for 15 years. We started off with a couple of gravestones in the back garden and it's got bigger each year.
"I just love Halloween. We invite all the trick-or-treaters in every year - but people kept saying to us, 'you should do it for charity'."
Last year the Woods family transformed their house on 46 Dale Road in aid of the British Heart Foundation - but for this year's display, Connie wanted to offer help to Denny's campaign, as the cousin of one of her friends.
"We've had really good responses this year - last night we had about 300 people turn up. It was amazing."
While Connie and her husband dressed up as Mrs Lovett and Sweeney Todd to welcome neighbours into the house, their daughters also joined in the fun - although Connie admits her youngest daughter Rhiannon took a little bit more convincing.
The family dog, Lix, even donned a costume to be included in the evening.
The attraction, which is running until Sunday, first welcomes guests with 'Mrs Lovett', complete with meat grinder, standing in the driveway.
"It starts off as a witch's lair and we have a little dining room this year so children can sit and be a part of it. Then it goes into a cemetery and a haunted playground at the back," Connie described.
She described kids of all ages and their parents visiting last night to explore the haunted house.
"The little ones are definitely braver than the big ones and the girls are a lot braver than the boys," Connie joked.
The Woods house will be open every evening from 5-8.30pm until Sunday evening for visitors to raise money for little Denny's treatment.
