The spooky 3-D images on garage doors that will give revellers the creeps

It's a garage makeover more than likely to frighten off unwanted attention from trick or treaters.

An inventive artist has created a Halloween-inspired collection of garage covers, including designs of the grim reaper and Dracula's gothic den.

The amazing 3-D images by Thomas Sassenbach give the impression that all manner of spooky spectacles have taken residence in their owner's garage next to the usual discarded paint cans and DIY equipment.

Trick or treat: This ghostly apparition is likely to frighten off any unwanted attention from around your garage

One of the creations gives the illusion of a giant pumpkin lurking under the garage shutters, while another tricks passers-by into thinking an eerie ghost is guarding the space for the owner's family vehicle.

Another design is guaranteed to ward off unwanted attention from garage thieves or trick or treaters, as it shows a terrifying image of the grim reaper armed with a giant scythe inside the garage.

Mr Sassenbach's garage door covers, which are made from weather-resistant tarpaulin and can be attached to doors with velcro, cost up to £147 each.

The 47-year-old artist said they are more than likely to give your neighbours a scare.

He said: 'I wanted to bring a sense of fun and style to garages and so I came up with head-turning designs.

'The photo tarpaulins for the garage door are a really cool idea and a real eye-catcher.

'At last, there's a riot of colour on sad garage doors.

'The Halloween motifs are aimed at everyone who is crazy about Halloween and wants to show it.

'Of course you also can give your neighbour a scare with our spooky Halloween motifs.

'The 3D motifs, with their intense colours, are deceptively realistic and make neighbours, friends and passers-by stop and stare.

For those not quite ready for such a spooky cover to their garage, less seasonal friendlier designs have also been created.

One of Mr Sassenbach's other covers shows an idyllic beach scene, while separate designs feature toy cars and even a small plane.

Mr Sassenbach added: 'We had lots of request from America and other countries in Europe - that's why we developed these spooky motifs.

'It seems that some of our customers are very excited about Halloween.

''The billboards are almost indestructible. They are not dissimilar to truck tarpaulins, but have a finer structure.

'The material is rip-proof and can be cut without damaging it. What's more, the billboards are completely weather-proof and are easy to fix and you can use the spooky garage motif next Halloween as well.'
