Are you heading out guising this weekend? We’d love to see your Halloween pictures.

We’re looking for your pictures of scary skeletons, little pumpkins and cute cats who are out and about in the north and north-east this scaring season.

This year, we’d like to showcase your little (and not so little) spooky stars online and in print.

We want your Halloween pictures.

Halloween falls on a Monday this year, which will be the first day back at school after the October holidays for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire kids.

Send us your Halloween pictures

All of the pictures will feature in the newspaper and online.

As well as your child’s fancy dress, we’re even looking for pictures of your very best pumpkin carvings, decorated houses and even dressed-up pets.

And if you’re struggling with fancy dress inspiration, then we have some inspiration for you.

Very few resources are needed to make the skeleton, ghost and spider costumes so if you do give one a try, let us see how you get on.

For further inspiration, you can check out all the pics we published last year.

What is Halloween?

The origins of Halloween are the subject of some dispute. Many believe it grew out of the Gaelic harvest festival Samhain, believed to have pagan roots.

Others suggest Halloween began as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow’s Day.

Celebrated in Scotland and Ireland for centuries, Scots and Irish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century.

Through this American influence, Halloween has since spread to many countries around the world.
