If you're fed up with the usual Halloween costumes why not try something a bit different this year, with a distinctly Sheffield theme.
Dressing up as a vampire, ghost or monster is all very well but it's not very original, is it.
If you're struggling for creative inspiration why not try one of these suggestions for costume ideas which might not mean much to people from outside the city but will strike fear into the hearts of those from Sheffield.
Some may take a little more imagination and crafting skills than others but you can be sure to stand out on October 31.
Of course these ideas are all just a little bit of fun. We'd love to hear your suggestions.
1. An empty bottle of Henderson's Relish
Picture the scene. You're just setting the table for supper, you reach into the cupboard for the Henderson's Relish and, shock horror, find the bottle is empty. Supper is obviously cancelled as you attempt to come to terms with this nightmare. For people of a stronger disposition, you could really give Sheffield folk a fright by dressing as a bottle of Worcestershire sauce! Photo: JPI media
2. A pothole
Sheffield's roads may be in a better state than they were a decade ago but there are still many potholes to look out for. A pothole costume should strike fear into the hearts of motorists in the city this Halloween. File photo: Ben Birchall/PA Wire
3. Sheffield's one way system
Another thing guaranteed to have many Sheffield motorists shaking with terror is the city's one way system. As is the case in many cities it's enough to baffle the best of us, and that's without mentioning the bus gates.
4. A zombie Sean Bean
Sean Bean is of course a Sheffield legend (he has the Legends plaque to prove it) but he has a reputation for playing characters who meet a grisly end on screen, from (spoiler alert) Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye to Ned in Game of Thrones. He spoke in 2019 about being fed up with getting killed off and rejecting future roles where he dies, but there are plenty of past characters to choose from Photo: Roger Nadal
