Spooky season was celebrated in style this year as footballers embraced the halloween spirit.
Halloween is here and that means a few very important things.
Firstly, the winter ball is out. You know the one. The clocks are back and the yellow ball is flying around the pitches again. As it should. How about that for World Cup fever?
More importantly, Halloween means that we're officially on the road to the World Cup, if we were to put things into WWE Road to WrestleMania perspective.
But instead of letting the holiday pass by without a trick or a treat, a handful of footballers got into the spirit of the occasion and pulled out the good, the bad and the ugly of fancy dress. Let's take a look.
Jese Rodriguez
It's not bad, but it's certainly not good from Jese Rodriguez and his wife.
We'll refrain from the more explicit analogies as to what they they've actually achieved. All that needs to be said is that his singular season spent in Stoke would've been a lot more frightening than this.

Okay, sure, Gotze loses some points for not putting together a 'scary' outfit, but who does anymore?
Halloween is about fun and creativity. This ticks both boxes, as well as the wholesome one. Super Mario (get it?) and his son. Brilliant.
Lotte Wubben-Moy
Nothing to see here, folks. Just an English footballing, European Championship-winning icon dressing up as a bonafide musical icon.
The crossover we didn't know we needed. Good effort, Lotte. We like it a lot. Not sure how Conor McGregor ties into this alternate reality, but we don't need the answers right now.
Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis
Chelsea's Kerr and Gotham FC's Mewis looked the part as they linked up with the rest of the Chelsea squad this weekend, in classic outfits.
A little textbook, sure, but they make it work to its absolute limit. Very classy stuff. Stern poses too. Well done.
