Spooktacular Halloween costumes were on show this week as youngsters from across the district revelled in the terrifying occasion.

From creepy clowns to menacing monsters, the streets of Lowestoft and Waveney were awash with stunning efforts from those taking part in the Trick or Treating festivities.

Others carefully created their own Halloween horrors by decking out their homes and gardens in all the scary features they could get their hands on.

It wasn't just children and families taking part in the night of horrors, however, with some dressing up their four-legged friends.
