There was a reason to be fearful as costume-clad Hallowe’en revellers took to the streets to celebrate ahead of the coming week’s ‘scariest night of the year’.
Party-goers in Leeds showed off their outfits on Saturday night while enjoying the city’s renowned pub crawl, the Otley Run.
The pub crawl has 18 stops on the way as groups make their way to the city centre.
The traditional tour starts at about 3pm and weaves its way from Headingley in the outskirts of Leeds along Headingley Lane, past the University of Leeds, and finishes at The Dry Dock Leeds in the city centre 1.5 miles away from the start.
There was a mixture of costumes ranging from spooky to sexy, as well as secret agents.
From jack o’lanterns to Scream and even Freddy Krueger, they donned wonderful and weird outfits, while making the most of an extra hour ahead of the clocks going back.
