And while Trick or Treating and Halloween-themes parties are back on, driving in your costume could cost you a lot of money.
Experts at motoring association MotorEasy have urged those taking to the roads this October 31 to be wary of what they’re wearing in case it lands them in trouble with the law.
Rule 97 of the Highway Code states: "You should ensure clothing and footwear do not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner."
MotorEasy founder and CEO, Duncan McClure Fisher, said: "This usually applies to things such as flip-flops and narrow skirts.
"But if your devil hooves or Harley Quinn stilettos affect your ability to safely manoeuvre your vehicle this Halloween, you could be charged with careless driving and handed a £100 on-the-spot fine.
"And if this careless driving leads to a more serious incident, a prison jumpsuit might be more suitable garb as it could see you end up in court – with the potential for a fine of up to £5,000, nine endorsement points and even a driving ban.
"So we would urge those doing the driving on or around Halloween this year to check whatever costume they have chosen does impact on their skills as doing so could also result in causing serious harm to fellow motorists and pedestrians."
Google search data has revealed the most popular outfits for this year’s haunting celebrations include Cruella De Ville and characters from Netflix dramas Money Heist and Squid Game, as well as the more traditional zombies, witches and superheroes.
