A GHOULISH guest brought Halloween chills to visitors to a North-East shopping centre.

Uncle Doom and his Piano of Gloom entertained shoppers at Darlington’s Cornmill Centre with his own terrifying take on Halloween favourites – including Thriller and Ghost Town.

The performer glided around the shopping centre with his zombie queen and mummy accomplices, who handed out chocolate to children who dared to come close.

Susan Young, centre manager at the Cornmill, said: “Uncle Doom and his Piano of Gloom is something completely new for Cornmill.”
