Halloween has come and gone and by now your house is likely to be full of trick or treat sweets.

People in Lancashire were very creative with their costumes this year and we asked Lancashire Telegraph readers to send us pictures of their children dressed in their scariest and most adorable Halloween outfits.

We received dozens of messages and photos of children in costume, ready to collect their sweets and go trick or treating.

Adorable pumpkins, terrifying clowns, killer dolls and even an angry grandma were just some of the fantastic costumes this year.

Some parents even got involved with one family dressing as Alan from the Hangover, complete with baby Carlos in the sling.

Families also went all out on their house decorations this year including a Burnley mum who built a 14ft pirate ship in her front garden.

Another family from Great Harwood spent £1,500 on their decorations this year.

The jam-packed display features a smoke and bubble machine, flashing lights, creepy spiders and even a pair of undead newlyweds who can sing ‘I got you babe’ by Sonny and Cher.

Nine-year-old Jack Oates-Readett, from Great Harwood, has created a Halloween treat station for dogs filled with pet-friendly biscuits.

Jack’s mum, Joanne Oates-Readett, said Jack loves animals and wanted to make sure they are included on the spookiest night of the year.
