Embracing the spirit of things that go bump in the night – and good old fancy dress – celebrities have gone all out with their Halloween outfits this year.

From traditional Addams Family and The Shining to gory new hit Netflix show Squid Game, many stars went to town with their horror costumes.

Others simply celebrated their favourite films and stars, from Pretty Woman and True Romance to The Incredibles. There were also a few Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker lookalikes, in honour of the newly engaged ccouple’s headline-grabbing public declarations of love, plus the usual selection of skeletons, ghosts and witches (sexy and traditional).

As celebrity Halloween costumes have filled social media feeds over the weekend, here’s a few of the best.
