Halloween revellers don their spookiest costumes

Halloween revellers donned all manners of 'spooktacular' costumes as they hit the streets of Britain for the 'scariest' night out of the year. 

Fright Night is usually an excuse for partygoers to go all out with their fancy dress and this year was no exception. 

In Nottingham, students wore cowboy hats, devil outfits and some even went as Nintendo characters Mario and Luigi as they partied in the city centre.

While other outfits included a terrifying Joker costume complete with the card, Scooby Doo, and a firefighter. 

In London, revellers hit the streets of Soho to enjoy Halloween drinks dressed in their spookiest costumes.

While some went in their best cheerleader outfits, others left little to the imagination. 

Meanwhile in Newcastle, students and locals celebrated Halloween in style as they took to the city's bars and pubs. 

Some went as Harry Potter characters, while others clutched sparkly pom poms and balloons. 

Tonight's celebrations come after revellers also partied into the early hours last night to see in October 31. 

Popular themes during this year's spooky season have included  pop sensation Chappell Roan and the new Beetlejuice film.

David Roskin, 29, from London, and his friend Fae dressed up as the popular Tim Burton character and the Good Luck Babe singer for a party at the weekend.

'Beetlejuice feels like a big one for this year, and after Beetlejuice Beetlejuice became one of the first unnecessary-decades-later-sequels to actually (mostly) live up to the first one, it was the obvious choice for me this time around,' he said.

Sporting Beetlejuice's signature black and white striped suit, green wig and white face paint, Mr Roskin shared pictures of his costume on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption 'The ghost with the most! The juice is on the loose!'.

Meanwhile his friend Fae used Chappell Roan's VMA performance as the inspiration behind her costume, wearing a DIY silver suit of armour.

Nina, a 21-year-old law student in Liverpool, used Lana Del Rey's recent marriage to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene as inspiration for her costume.

'The inspiration was obviously Lana, I love her music and I think she's hilarious, it's especially hilarious and on brand of her to randomly marry an alligator swamp tour guide,' she added.

Nina, who said her costume cost less than £15, is pictured wearing a white boho wedding-esque outfit with an alligator soft toy attached to her chest, finished off with a wedding veil.

Eric Graca from Glasgow opted for a less current look for their costume, taking inspiration from Diana.

Mr Graca recreated the iconic image of the late princess jogging while wearing a Harvard jumper and cycling shorts in the 1990s.

'My mother was a huge Princess Diana fan, and I remember when she passed even though I was only five,' the 32-year-old healthcare administrator said.

'It seemed like a fun way to celebrate who she was and to have a fun Halloween costume.'
