QUEUES formed around the block as children tried to enter a unique Halloween experience in a Worcestershire village.
More than 200 children, some of whom had travelled specifically for the experience, travelled to South Littleton for Halloween for Evvil Labs.
Evvil Labs was a escape room-esce experience set up my village resident Paul Curtis and encompassed his entire front garden and areas of his home.
Children were given name badges and taken through a the story of what happens when you mix dog, cat, rabbit and t-rex DNA before leaving with a test tube full of "super sour" sherbet.
Mr Curtis said: "We must have had more than 200 kids in the end although we could have had more because I was inside all night.
"Kids were coming from all the surrounding villages and we even had a few come from Evesham.
"They were queuing around the block so we must have done something right.
"I think everyone enjoyed it, I didn't get a chance to ask them as I was inside doing my spiel and ushering them out.
"We had £60 in donations so at least 20 people felt it was good enough but we've had a lot of parents come back and ask for copies of the pictures taken in the photobooth."
An abandoned hospital is on the cards next year for Mr Curtis with three possibilities ranging from a zombie maze to a hospital theme to a recreation of the titanic which was suggested by his five-year-old daughter.
Mr Curtis continued: "Feedback has been incredibly positive so far and people have already asked what were are going to do to top it next year.
"The kids loved it although I think they had their brains blown out because the sherbet was super sour and by the ned of the night we only had four test tubes left.
"I built the set in stages so it should be simple to take down and reassemble and reuse for next year."
Last year Mr Curtis turned his front lawn into a 1920's style police murder mystery for Halloween.
