Share your underwhelming Halloween photos

It’s the spookiest time of the year. Witches are up to no good on the high moors, pumpkins are braced for the worst and ghosts everywhere are preparing for their busiest season.

Halloween approaches. WoooOOOOooo! WoooooOOOOOOooooooooo.

America is much better at Halloween than we here in the UK. They do these things with a certain pizzazz, while our streets are filled with half-hearted ghosts, ‘sexy’ zombies, and sorry vampires.

This underwhelming effort shames our country.

But it also makes us feel strangely proud.

With this in mind, we’d like to see your disappointing Halloween costumes. Whether it’s a historical effort or one you’ve freshly but half-heartedly put together for this year’s celebrations, you can share them with us at GuardianWitness.

Not in the UK? Fear not. In a much-needed spirit of internationalism, we will also be accepting disappointing Halloween photos from outside Britain, if such things exists.

Need inspiration?

Last year, your underwhelming correspondent was a ‘dinosaur nun’.

Beat that.
