This month we asked our camera club members to embrace the spooky side of Sussex as the long nights drew in. Plenty of opportunities presented themselves in October, including a gothic supermoon and, of course, Halloween. Our keen snappers got in touch with their dark side and captured an array of pictures sure to send shivers down your spine.

Meanwhile, Philip Carter took a trip down to a cemetery in Shoreham during a full moon and got a sinister shot of the moonlight illuminating the headstones. We also loved Claire Andrew’s picture of a dewy spider’s web in Knepp.

The person appears to be using a metal detector against the ghostly backdrop of the ruined West Pier and the dark water on Brighton seafront. Llewelyn wins £50.
