AN IRVINE mum is going "all out" for Hallowe'en - and plans to help a fantastic cause along the way.
Claire Main has created a spook-tacular display at her home on McKinlay Crescent - something she has been doing for a number of years now.
Many may be familiar with her property which is also decked out over the festive season with a plethora of Christmas decorations.

With both occasions now on the horizon, Claire has been hard at work ensuring this year's effort is her best yet.
"No one really does Hallowe'en anymore," she commented. "I always go all out at Christmas but this year I am doing it for Hallowe'en.
"It was never as big as this is. All the neighbours love it, and I love doing it. My son really loves it as well.
"There is not much down here for the weans - I love people coming to see it."
What makes Claire's display even more impressive is the fact that almost all of the decorations in her front garden are handmade.
"You don't want it to be perfect," she added. "I love decorating my garden for special occasions as it brings back special memories of my childhood.
"I want my son to always remember special occasions. I love seeing all families coming to see my garden and I love being part of a tight community I love to make people smile."
While there will be something else making this year's display extra special for Claire.

With many locals often flocking to catch a glimpse of her decorations, the Irvine mum is hoping to support a cause close to her heart along the way.
A donation box for Macmillan Cancer Support is to be placed amongst this year's display with it hoped those heading along will take some pictures then spare some change for the charity.
Claire says Macmillan "holds a special place in my heart" after they supported her late father following his own cancer diagnosis in 2000.
"If he was here now he would have been helping me make props for my garden," she added.
And Claire has no intentions of stopping with the spooky season, with planning already underway for her Christmas display once October 31 is over.
She continued: "I know people think it's a long time, but it makes me happy."
