How will you scare the bejesus out of people on October 31?
Here are 18 ideas, starting with your regular, run-of-the-mill supernatural creatures – zombie, witch, werewolf – and the like, and finishing with some nerve-shredding movie baddies.
So get your make-up, masks and capes ready and get ready to do some serious spooking!

10. Skeleton
Mask or make-up, either way, a skeleton is always a favourite costume at Halloween. Remember the fight scene in Jason and the Argonauts. Chilling! Photo: Andrey Kiselev - stock.adobe.com
11. Frankenstein's Monster
Not Frankenstein himself, that would be Victor - a mere mortal - but Frankenstein's monster. Only trouble is pace, so prepare to walk slowly with your arms stretched out if you plump for this costume! Photo: benevolente - stock.adobe.com
12. Werewolf
