It was Halloween on Thursday, which means that there’ll be plenty of spooktastic nights out and house parties to dress up for this weekend. Below are some ghoulish fancy dress ideas for you to consider. It’s time to head to a fancy dress shop or start working on your costume!

Scary fairy

You’ll need wings, back combed hair and lots of black glitter to make this outfit work. And don’t forget your wand!

Clown

No need for blood or spooky props, clowns have their own special scare factor. If you turn up in a clown suit, face paint and red nose we guarantee you’ll terrify your friends.

Zombie

The zombie is a Halloween classic and one of the easiest ensembles to put together. Just rough up some old clothes and smear yourself in tomato ketchup. Job done.

Monk/Nun

There’s something about Church garb on Halloween that puts the fear of God into you (see what we did there?). If you fancy transforming yourself into a ‘Friar Fear’ or ‘Scary Mary’ head to your nearest fancy dress shop.

Marie Antionette

This is a great opportunity to flounce about eating cake and drinking champagne (OK, cava) all evening. You’ll need a bouffant white wig, beauty spot and red guillotine line across your neck.
