Halloween revelers prepare for a spooky weekend

Halloween is approaching, and few now doubt the celebration is here to stay in Iceland, mbl.is reports. Preparations are nearing completion in many places.

Shops such as Partíbúðin, a party shop, have been busy. Dhanush Madeh and Frosti Hrafn Sigurjónsson were among the customers buying items to complete their Halloween costumes.

All kinds of spooky creatures are expected to be out and about this weekend. There will be plenty of sweets for children, and some adults are likely to indulge too. But not all the creatures may feel quite so lively when Sunday arrives.
