Halloween is a little different this year – but it doesn't mean we still can't celebrate. Trick or treating is practically cancelled, Halloween parties are out of the question and heading to your local theatre for a horror movie might not be possible thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
However, that doesn't mean we can't get our spooky fix whilst keeping safe. So, whether you're jut dressing up for a Halloween movie binge with your immediate social bubble, or planning a killer Zoom shindig, here's a bunch of Halloween costume ideas with masks.
