The end of October is in sight, meaning that it is once again time to rummage through your cupboard in search of your old costume or find materials that you can quickly slap together to make a new one.
Although it originated in the Western world, Halloween has found its way into Singapore over the years and is now an occasion for many to dress up as their favourite pop culture characters and put their courage to the test at horror-themed activities and events.
