Halloween

Having been one of the most talked about web series of the year, there’s bound to be more than a few Stranger Things costumes this Halloween.

Already actress Amy Schumer has set high expectations for such attire as she and boyfriend Ben Hanisch have teamed up to channel two of the show’s most beloved characters.

Last night, the 35-year-old New Yorker took to Instagram to share a series of images in which she is dressed as Stranger Things’ Dustin while her boo pulls off his best Eleven.

Equipped with backpacks, bikes and epic captions, it’s safe to say Amy and Ben are #HalloweenGoals.

When it comes to Halloween costumes for small kids, toddlers and babies, there's not much you can work with.

Sure, pop on a pumpkin baby babygrow, or a tiny witches hat and everyone will swoon over them no matter what.

We have to say that Chrissy Teigen's tot did a good job of being a hotdog and a princess, but we kinda love this little kid even more.

Take a look at this adorableness:

He's a stickman! So simple but so brilliant, and it's definitely guaranteed some laughs.

Bette Midler just won Halloween.

The actress gave us the ultimate throwback last night when she dressed up as her Hocus Pocus character, Winifred.

Bette Midler as Winnie

The 70-year-old was out to attend the Hulaween Party last night at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

Bette recently opened up about the 1993 flick, saying she's baffled as to why it didn't get a spin-off.

“For the life of me, I can’t understand why there’s not a sequel.

Bette Midler as Winnie Sanderson

“You don’t get to see women doing slapstick too much, and in the movie you can see that we’re having a blast…All the shackles were off…and we were allowed to be as wild as we wanted to be. It was a perfect storm of fun.”

We don't understand either! A sequel NEEDS to be made.

Burger King and McDonald's have always been fierce rivals, but the King of the flame grills has just stepped up its game.

Burger King in Queens, New York dressed up as the 'the ghost of McDonald's past' this week to celebrate Halloween, and we just think it's hilarious.

The staff at the franchise draped the whole building in white sheets and cut out holes over the Burger King sing. They then spray painted 'McDonald's' on the sheets.

The sign on BK's marquee read: "BOOOOO. Just kidding. We still flame grill out burgers. Happy Halloween."

The gas staff even continued the joke inside the store:

And of course, the Twitter exploded when they saw it:

Your move, Maccy D.

Being one of the most recognisable brands in the cosmetics world, it’s no surprise that M.A.C. employs some of the industry’s most talented makeup artists.

But while M.A.C. counters are pretty much everyone’s go-to for a solid smoky eye and a decent spot of contour, behind the scenes its MUAs are working on some incredibly creative projects.

With Halloween just around the corner, the “MacSeniorArtist” hashtag is throwing up some pretty impressive costume ideas on Instagram.

From creepy clowns and withered hags to bejewelled sea creatures and movie-worthy aliens, check out some of our favourite M.A.C. looks below.

• HALLOWEEN • last one of these! Close up of mine. I'd love to see this on a dark skin, change it all to real skin tone as a base, but have all the details bronze, chocolate, gold, copper instead of Pearl and white. Rich dark chocolate brown lipstick on the lips, with #ReflectsBronze pressed on top. The last touch – have a friend blow #reflectsgold over the entire face! Someone do it and tag me!!

The extreme skill of make up artists never ceases to amaze me, and this year's biggest Halloween trend is no exception. 

Several CRAZY talented Instagram beauty bloggers have been trying out a new trend and their results are incredible (and spooky). 

The trend is to create a floating head illusion, and we simply cannot look away. 

 

Tutorial is in the bio  #halloween #makeuptutorial #skull

It is a trend that many of our favourite beauty ladies have attempted, including Victoria Whitlow, Roxxsaurus and Paige Wright. 

 

Another #halloweenmakeup look!  Completely OBSESSED with these "headless" looks if y'all can't tell… After doing my "floating head" a few weeks ago, I assume this is similar to what it would look like if your head REALLY came off! Inspired 100% by @monomolove ! This was by far the EASIEST makeup I have EVER done.. No joke 5 minutes TOPS! Anyone can do this, but getting a white background to look good… Took me 30 minutes! I don't have a clue HOW these people do it and if anyone has any tips please let me know…I had to do some serious editing to get this to look right! If you decide to try this at home just know a silk white sheet will NOT do the trick!! LOL! (P.S a ton of you are tagging me in some crazy cool stuff that I don't have the supplies for at home so just a side note I HAVE ordered some liquid latex, scar wax, and 3rd degree and it's supposed to arrive at the Wright residence tomorrow! So I hope to try some crazy new things and come totally out of my comfort zone before the month is over! And who's to say I will even stop after October ends! Thanks so much to everyone giving me ideas!)

The experts insist that while the look is super impressive, it is not particularly difficult to achieve. 

Would you try it?

She’s well known for her elegant feminine style, but that doesn’t mean Holly Willoughby won't be playing dress-up this Halloween.

Appearing on this week’s episode of Celebrity Juice, the This Morning presenter channelled her inner rebel by wearing what is likely to be one of this year’s most popular costumes, Suicide Squad’s Harley Quinn.

The 35-year-old mother of three embodied Margot Robbie’s character perfectly with fishnet tights, dip-dyed pigtails, red and blue co-ords and a decorated baseball bat.

Let’s face it, Halloween isn’t for everyone.

But if you’re more in tune with your spiritual side than your spooky side, there’s still loads for you to get involved in this Bank Holiday weekend.

Take Wild Spirit, for example.

This yoga-focussed, music-fuelled, foodie event is the perfect way to celebrate one of the most atmospheric times of the year.

Taking place in Dublin’s Chocolate Factory on October 30, this event gives you the opportunity take part in yoga, which will be led by Lee Tracey and accompanied by a live DJ, before tucking into delicious treats from Urban Health.

This one of a kind event is not to be missed!

There came a time in most of our childhoods when we decided we were far too schlick to dress in a bin liner and roam our estate for hours on end.

But without a fake ID to hand, it wasn't like we were going to join the more mature revellers down the local, so much of our teenage Halloweens were spent scaring the bejaysus out of ourselves with classic teen slasher movies.

Let's face it, if ever there was a time of the year when we were likely to get our hands on an 18-rating, it was All Hallow's Eve.

And frankly, the idea of recreating a night hiding behind the couch is really appealing to us right now, so we scoured Netflix for some classics and were not disappointed.
 

1. Friday the 13th: Part 4: The Final Chapter

Making his way back to his old stomping ground, good ol' Jason Voorhies – AKA the man who refuses to die – decides to unleash hell on Camp Crystal.

Nothing stops this lad.

2. Jeepers Creepers

When a brother and sister begin the journey home for the holidays, they have no idea their road trip is about to take one of most sinister turns you can imagine.

Why did they stop the car? Why?!

3. Carrie

This 1976 horror tells the story of a sheltered teenage girl who gets her revenge on high school bullies in the most terrifying way possible.

If ever there was a better lesson in the merits of being kind to your classmates…

4. Battle Royale

Set in the future, the Japanese government capture a class of ninth-graders and force them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.

And we're already reaching for the cushion…

5. The Exorcism of Emily Rose

After hearing a priest had performed an exorcism on a young girl, a lawyer takes on the case.

Oh, and did we mention it's based on a true story?

6. The Conjuring

When a family find themselves terrorised by a dark presence, they turn to paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren for help.

7. The Exorcist

When her daughter begin showing signs of demonic possession, a distraught mother seeks the help of the church, but will it be enough?

When Lauren Conrad wasn't busy bemoaning the lack of 'real people' in Los Angeles, she was – as a student of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising – up to her eyes in magazine clippings and fabric cuttings.

So, after making a name (and a fortune) for herself in the fashion industry, it's no real surprise that the former reality TV star still chooses to create her own Halloween costumes.

Teasing her fans and followers this week on Instagram, Lauren shared sneak peeks of the work in progress before unveiling the finished design on her website.

 

Made my Halloween costume today! As usual lots of tulle was involved.

Uploading a snap of the items involved, she wrote: "Made my Halloween costume today! As usual lots of tulle was involved."

Fans sent themselves into a frenzy guessing what she might be making, with general consensus concluding that she was opting for a ballerina.

Lauren kept schtum before sharing another snap which suggested her fan base were way off, writing: "Any guesses?! We’ll be revealing the full costume tomorrow, but until then, here’s a little sneak peek to give you a hint!"

 
"Mimes? Dolls? Maybe some Alice in Wonderland vibes?" wrote one while another added: "Deck of cards? Queen of hearts, joker?"

A pro at milking any situation, Lauren held her fans in suspense before eventually sharing a full-size snap of the costume.

And in fairness, it's pretty cute.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over!" wrote Lauren. "This year, my girlfriends and I are dressing up for Halloween as (drumroll, please)… Circus performers!"

"I came up with this idea a few months ago when I saw this sequin star dress from Valentino’s Star Studded collection. I had a vision of putting a pastel twist on regular circus performer costumes and incorporating the star sequins from that dress into our own costumes."

"So, my friends Lauren and Hannah and I got a bunch of tulle, some pretty ribbon and feathers, put on some circus music, and started crafting away." she added.

And if you're interested in recreating Lauren's look, she provides a step by step guide on her website.

If you like a good scare, then this could be right up your street, but we'd be running away screaming if we were Ariana Grande.

The singer is gearing up for Halloween and while on Ellen this week, the presenter revealed that she's sending Ariana to a haunted house with the show's executive producer.

Haunted houses can be fun, yes, but this one is twenty minutes long, which is about 15 minutes over our scare-o-meter.

Ariana seemed grand with it at first, but then found out just how long it is and tweeted, "WAIT ITS 20 MINUTES LONG??"

Ellen later replied to her with, "I was mistaken! It's 22 minutes."

We'd be long gone! Good luck, Ari.

There’s something about the Victorian era and Halloween that just go hand-in-hand, so we are all over the pop-up fun park which is opening its doors in Dublin’s St Patrick Park this month.

The Victorian attraction, which will feature world class street-performers, traditional rides, olde-worlde games and a Victorian Photo studio, is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween weekend with younger members of the family.

Set against one of the city’s most breathtaking cathedrals, Stokerland is, as part of the Bram Stoker Festival, giving the public the opportunity to experience Halloween through the eyes of a child in the 1800s.

Running from 11 to 4.30pm on the last Saturday and Sunday of the month, this family-friendly event combines good clean fun with.. well… the horror that is Halloween.

Oh, and did we mention it’s FREE?!
