Watch video of fang-tastic Halloween house light show

An eye-popping extravaganza lit up the skies around a West Lothian village this week.

Derek Campbell organised the spectacular Halloween show for the people of Blackridge.

Derek programs an amazing light show that pulses in time to music, boasting millions of sparkling LEDs.

An annual event, running at Christmas too, he has raised thousands for charity and this year Derek and and his family chose the Neil’s Hugs Foundation to donate the money to.

Last year the family supported the Zak Scott Braveheart Foundation after their youngest boy Cruz was born with a heart condition and needed several rounds of surgery.

Derek said: “We do this to raise money for charities that we choose for each display in the hope that they can benefit anyone who needs them.

“We never ever thought we would need a charity ourselves but then our little boy was born with heart problems and had to have surgeries and certain charities helped us out. Without them it would have been a lot harder.

“So this year we have decided to raise money for The Neil’s Hugs Foundation which is an amazing charity.

“We have put a lot of money into our shows and we do not take a penny back – all monies raised go to the given charity.

“To date we have helped numerous charities and raised a good amount and we will continue to do this forever more.”
