Ladies, if you’re hoping to celebrate Halloween in style this year, look no further than Ireland’s favourite theme park and zoo – Tayto Park.

The Co. Meath attraction is excited to announce two brand new attractions for Halloween – Morbid Manor for teens and adults and Ghost Hunters for the kids.

And we are buzzing.

If you're on the tamer side you may want to stick with the young'ins, who will be immersing themselves in Ghost Hunters, which is an interactive children’s adventure where guests will become ghost hunters and can enter an old abandoned manor to discover the strange happenings inside.

And when the sun goes down? Well. that's when the freaks come out to play.

Dark comes over Tayto Park and an eerie atmosphere comes over the carnival rides. Guests should beware of the creeps, ghouls and clowns roaming outside in Tayto Park after night fall.

By night, the spooky abandoned mansion is transformed into Morbid Manor, the ultimate immersive horror experience with 13 actors in full costume.

Willing guests will pass through various rooms and secret passageways and meet the inhabitants of the haunted manor, both dead and alive.

Guests can then catch a night ride on The Cú Chulainn Coaster, Air Racer, Rotator, Windstar & Endeavour before experiencing the terrifying 5D horror movie, Fun House Express.

It's that time of year again – evenings are getting shorter, lipstick shades are getting warmer, and the LUSH Halloween collection is back on the shelves.

Last month, the ethical beauty brand took to Instagram to unveil some spooky treats for the season ahead, and after a long wait, we can finally reveal that seasonal products will land in Dublin stores tomorrow morning.

Think ghoulish bath bombs, fierce lip tints, and all the glitter you can get your hands on.

Oh and that's not all.

Rumour has it the Christmas collection will also be available from tomorrow – meaning we'll all be smelling like Snow Fairy for the foreseeable future.

But hey, we're not complaining.

2017, the year of Beyonce's twins, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris's breakup, and Kylie Jenner's potential pregnancy. 

While all of these Celebland stories have made major headlines, only one of them has been turned into a Halloween costume. 

It was a mere four days ago that rumours started swirling about Kylie Jenner's alleged pregnancy with rapper bf Travis Scott. 

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

The pregnancy has not even been formally confirmed yet by the Kardashian clan. 

However, that hasn't stopped pop-culture influenced costume site Yandy from turning it into a costume, ready to ship for this year's Halloween festivities. 

The costume imagery looks tellingly like the 20-year-old reality TV starlet-turned-makeup maven.

From the glossy black wig to the selfie pose, this seriously looks like a Kylie Jenner costume. 

The pack comes with a white wrap dress and a fake pregnant belly (we actually kind of think we'd wear the dress by itself on a night out.)

The name of the costume – 'Reality Star in the Making,' also hints at it being a depiction of the young makeup guru.

 Halloween is right around the corner (kind of) and thanks to stunning makeup looks popping up all over our Instagram, we're already thinking about what we want to go as this spooky season. 

The cost of a costume and all the bits and pieces needed to cobble together a cohesive makeup look can add up, and we always forget the white face paint every year, so imagine our delight when we spotted these nifty makeup sets that are coming into Penneys stores this month. 

Whether you have your sights set on being a mermaid, vampire or Day of the Dead candy skull, these sets have you covered, and for a fraction of the price that gathering up all these separate face paint pieces would be. 

 Fright Club Kiss of Death Box Set €10.00, Penneys

 Fright Club Mermaid Box Set €10.00, Penneys

Fright Club Vampire Box Set €10.00, Penneys

Fright Club Fake Blood €1.00, Fright Club Candy Skull Face Gems €2.00, Fright Club Ghost Foundation €2.00

If you were as obsessed with the adventures of Dustin, Mike, Lucas and Eleven as we were, then the new Stranger Things 2 trailer will have you on the edge of your seat.

We've been desperate for more information on the return of the hit Netflix series, and the new trailer was finally unveiled during yesterdays Super Bowl.

The teaser revealed that we still have a while to wait for the upcoming season, which will be released on Netflix on Halloween 2017.

The new season will be set one year on from Will's rescue, and the 80s aesthetic is stronger than ever, showing the boys in Ghost Busters Halloween costumes.

The trailer opens with a vintage Eggo TV advert, a nod to Eleven's infamous fondness for the instant breakfast. 

The sci-fi horror teaser revealed sneak peeks of eery children's drawings, a burning red, Demogorgon-filled sky and of course the boys Halloween costumes.

It looks like we won't be making plans with anyone other than our couch this Halloween.

While our own mothers bet us into bin liners and didn't even consider taking part in Halloween festivities, the same can't be said for the Knowles / Carter clan.

In a move which has us wishing our mams and grannies had gotten dickied up alongside us back in the day, Beyoncé has shared footage of the prep which went into their family Halloween.

Opting to go as 90s rapper Salt-N-Pepa, Beyonce, her mum Tina, her daughter Blue Ivy and her husband Jay-Z gave us all serious family goals by taking the theme and running with it.

From the oversized shell jackets and the skin-tight lycra leggings to the gold jewellery and accompanying fanny-packs, Bey and the crew put the rest of us to shame.

"They killed it as usual," wrote one fan after checking out Bey's Halloween montage which was  – unsurprisingly – accompanied by Salt-N-Pepa's Push It.

"My fave family… Love u guys till infinity," added another.

Jeez mam, a little imagination wouldn't have gone astray back in our day.

With access to the best costume departments and makeup artists in the world, if there’s one thing celebrities do well, it’s Halloween.

As Amy Schumer impresses Instagram with her personal take on Stranger Things, Kelly Clarkson has taken to Facebook to channel her inner Sia.

Adopting an oversized white wig for the entire seven minute clip, the first American Idol winner used the social media site to livestream herself singing Chandelier to over 300,000 people this Friday.

The Stronger singer dedicated the unique performance to the 40-year-old Australian, who has previously been involved in writing Kelly’s songs Invincible and Let Your Tears Fall.

While Kelly's costume was pretty basic, the wig certainly offered the star and her fans a glimpse at life as Sia.

With the arrival of the Trumpkin, it’s become increasingly obvious that pumpkins are one of the world’s most versatile fruits.

They can portray political agendas, act as fillers for pies or simply decorate people’s porches. 

But did you know the humble pumpkin can also be used to produce music?

 

Pumpkins!

Having previously used wine glasses, frying pans and rubber bands as instruments, software engineer Dan Ndombe headed to a pumpkin patch to source some seasonal inspiration for his latest online music video.

Having selected pumpkins of various shapes and sizes, the Arkansas based YouTuber cut into the Halloween treats, filled them with water and proceeded to use them as drums to create one of the most unique renditions of the Ghostbusters theme tune the Internet has ever heard.
