Halloween

by

Halloween has rolled around again, and if you're anything like us you're scrambling to find anything resembling a costume right about now.

No matter what you dress up as though, fancy dress nights are always guaranteed to be a bit of craic.

There's something about donning a disguise that always makes us totally giddy… and up for some mischief.

Here are a few of the scrapes you're bound to find yourself in over the next 48 hours…

1. Once again you'll leave your costume to the VERY last minute
"I'll just scribble all over my face with this eyeliner and wear some novelty sunglasses, will I?"

 

2. You'll realise getting the bus into town with full vampire facepaint was a bad idea
"Mammy, why is that girl covered in blood?"

 

3. You'll be asked "What are you?" again… and again… and again
In the eternal words of Amanda Seyfried…

 

4. If you bought a pre-made costume, you'll spot at least six other girls wearing it
"Yeah, we all came together. We're a squad of Minions."

 

5. There will always be one person in an AMAZING costume that must have taken weeks
Heidi Klum, we salute you.

 

6. Every pub will have some kind of 'gory' cocktail special
2 for 1 'vampire blood' daiquiris, don't mind if I do.

 

7. By midnight, town will be a wasteland of drunk zombies and Supermen
"HAS ANYONE SEEN MY CAPE"

 

8. The local chipper will be the same
Join the queue behind Mario, Catwoman and the drunk Frankenstein who's already inhaled two bags of curry chips.

 

9. You will definitely fall asleep with ALL your facepaint on
And it will take three washes to get that hairspray out. Standard.

Last night, Taylor Swift shared a hilarious yet adorable #tbt post on Instagram.

No, she wasn't dressed as a princess, or a regular old witch; she was dressed as a Teletubby.

But back then she was ahead of the crowd because she dressed as the character before the TV show became big, and everyone else thought she was just a yellow pregnant alien.

Of course, we all know the pregnant yellow alien is actually called Laa-Laa but we'll let that pass.

We have to say though, Taylor was one FIERCE kid.

These days, Halloween is either about heading out on the town or staying in with a pizza and some horror flicks.

But remember when you literally couldn't sleep for WEEKS thinking about your costume, how many sweets you were going to get and how you'd avoid sharing them with your siblings?

Here are just a few of the Halloween memories you no doubt have if you grew up in Ireland…

1. Proudly sporting a bed sheet at LEAST two years running
'I'm a ghost, duh.'

 

2. Or failing that, a black bag
Such a vague costume… Were you a witch? A Ninja? A vampire? Who knew, really?

3. The sheer torture of having to bob for apples
'Just stick your head in this bucket of ice cold water, it's great craic.'

 

4. Ditto having to play that 'bite-the-apple-on-a-string' game
Who INVENTS these things?! 

 

5. Your dad causing you untold embarrassment by answering the door in costume
Though nowadays you'd think it was gas.

 

6. Vague mutterings that there was going to be a Ouija board at so-and-so's sleepover
'Last time I heard they conjured up the spirit of Lisa's dead cat.'

 

7. Or failing that, you were DEFINITELY going to make someone levitate this year
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.

 

8. Always having a load of mouldy oranges left at the end of your trick-or-treat bag
You'd take monkey nuts over those any day.

 

9. One neighbour always refusing to answer despite their lights being on
CURSE YOU RUDE NEIGHBOUR

 

10. Knowing this would finally be the year you'd get the ring in the Barm Brack
You'd put in eight years of slog, surely you were going to reap the reward this time.

It's not even October 31st yet and Beyoncé has already cemented her place as Queen of Halloween.

The singer stole the show at Ciara's fancy dress 30th birthday party last night, rocking an ice-white wig and contact lenses as Storm from X-Men.

We reckon she made an even better job of it than Halle Berry did in the actual film:

Of course, Bey wasn't the only one dressed up for the star-studded bash.

Ciara herself looked incredible in an all-leather Catwoman outfit, with her boyfriend Russell Wilson by her side as Batman.

Also in attendance was Wonder Woman Lily Collins, who took to social media to wish happy birthday to "most beautiful cat woman I know."

Beyoncé's former bandmate Kelly Rowland showed up for the celebrations too, showing off her toned legs in fishnets and a PVC leotard.

While Bey did go all out last night, we know this won't be the last we see of her in costume this month.

After all, last year she had two different looks for Halloween alone:

All hail Queen B.

It's the same every year.

We swear we'll spend weeks crafting the perfect Halloween costume only to have a meltdown on October 31st when we realise we have NOTHING prepared.

Rather than dropping a week's wages on a 'sexy sailor' costume, keep it simple and use what you've already got in your wardrobe.

When you look this good, no-one has to know you literally planned your costume in five minutes flat. You can thank us later.

Cruella de Vil
You'll need red gloves and anything black-and-white you have to hand – who DOESN'T have a two-tone fur stole in their wardrobe?

 

Wednesday Addams
Have a Peter-Pan collared dress at home? Plait your hair, put on your palest make-up and practice your most sullen face.

 

Party Animal
We love this costume tutorial from Lauren Conrad – get dressed up in your fanciest party wear and throw on some ears or antlers. Her pals went for more neutral 'party animal' looks but this would totally work with a black dress and heels, too.

 

Cute French Maid
You don't have to wear suspenders (unless you want to). A black dress with a white apron is pretty much all that's needed to complete this look.

 

Audrey Hepburn
A classic. Black dress, a cigarette holder, sunnies and DIAMONDS (or whatever sparkly jewellery you have to hand).

Her youngest – a son called Reign – was only born last December. And since then Kourtney Kardashian has had to deal with the breakdown of her decade-long relationship with Scott Disick.

Raising three young children – there's also eldest Mason, five, and three-year-old Penelope – on her own can't be easy, so we reckon her Wonder Woman Halloween costume is entirely appropriate for this year. 

Yes, getting into the spooky spirit of things early, the 36-year-old reality TV star and her squad of little super heroes looked amazing in a duo of snaps shared on her social media platforms. 

Mason can be seen donning an electric blue cape and eye mask while 10-month old Reign opted for blue striped leggings and a scarlet cape.

Their sister Penelope was adorable in a toddler version of her mother's outfit – albeit one which boasted a white tulle, princess-style dress on rather than a gold catsuit. 

As well as her own offspring, Kourtney's adorable niece North – the two-and-a-half year-old daughter of Kim and Kanye West – joined them, though dressed as a white and pink unicorn rather than a superhero.

Both snaps have now individually notched up in excess of 1million likes from her fans.

Kim Kardashian, 35, famously dressed as Wonder Woman back in 2008, but we're certainly BIG fans of Kourtney's 2015 take.

Estranged Scott did not join his children for the Halloween celebration. The 32-year-old is currently being treated in a rehab facility in Malibu, according to US reports.

It's a little over a week until Halloween, so now's the time to get planning this year's epic costume.

For 2015, we've pledged to ditch the sexy sailor/sexy soldier/sexy witch scenario and go for something a little more original.

If you need inspiration, just take a look back at the goings-on over the last year. Or, read below, because we've done all the hard work for you.

Here are 11 pop-culture Halloween looks that'll ensure you stand out from the crowd*

*unless everyone else in the crowd has read this article too

1. Nicki Minaj at the 2015 VMAs
Put on your finest gold dress and keep saying 'Miley What's Good' with increased levels of malice.

 

2. Miley herself at the 2015 VMAs
She wore a whole load of costumes on the night, but this one would be SO easy to replicate. Tinsel and a leotard. Done.

Or, head to your nearest fabric shop and throw this one together:

 

3. Disgust from Inside Out
You'll need to paint yourself green and locate a green wig. Plus, your levels of sass will need to be at an all-time high.

 

4. A basic girl
Ugg boots, yoga pants/leggings, a North Face jacket, matching hat and scarf and of course the obligatory Starbucks autumn-themed cup,

 

5. Or take it to the next level and be a Pumpkin Spice Latte
The basic girl's BFF.

 

6. The Snapchat rainbow vomit filter
This one's make-up only, so you can wear whatever you like. Find the tutorial here. 

 

7. Your favourite emoji
You'll need some good strong card, construction paper and glue. We'll be giving the poo emoji a go this year, as modelled by this beautiful pug:

 

8. Kylie Jenner in selfie mode
You'll need: A crop top/sports bra, joggers or tracksuit bottoms, mental fake eyelashes, a black/green/blonde wig, LOTS of lip liner and of course… an iPhone.

 

9. Her big sis Kim in internet-breaking mode
Find a black dress, sew a football or two in, stick on a martini glass… done.

 

10. Selena Gomez as 'Arsyn' in the Bad Blood video
All of the costumes are doable, but we loved Selena's black bobbed wig and general villainous demeanour.

 

11. The pizza rat
Remember him?

Well, one company has capitalised on that to make all of your Halloween dreams come true.

Find the costume here.

The Burger King gods have heard our prayers, and have deigned to finally give Ireland its own taste of novelty food.

The US and Japan have been enjoying delights like black and even white burger buns for ages, but until now Ireland has been left out of the loop.

Starting this week though, Irish diners will be able to order the Halloween Whopper – a beef burger with all the trimmings and a "dark BBQ-sauce infused bun."

The burger will only hit Irish Burger King outlets for a limited time, in honour of Halloween next weekend.

From what we've seen so far, it looks pretty legit – though no Irish Burger King fan has posted a snap yet.

There's no word on whether the burger will give us all emerald green poo – something which US diners were quick to shout about on social media earlier this month.

The mix of food colourings in the bun can only be partially absorbed by our gut, meaning what comes back out is a VERY brightly coloured poop.

Hopefully the bun recipe has been tweaked for an Irish audience, but there's only one way to find out…
