Halloween is around the corner and hosting a theme party may have been difficult last year but will be possible this year as people have started going out with precautions. And the best part of celebrating the festival — originally dedicated to remembering the dead — is getting to embody your favourite character, complete with costumes, makeup, props and catchphrases. 

While experts need no prodding to bring on their A-game to the party, amateurs may need a little inspiration to get into the complete spirit of the festival, which is popularly celebrated with horror-themed outfits and decor. Interestingly, Mumbaikars, who have been marking Halloween for years, say it isn’t as intimidating as it looks and can be done with everything available at home too.
