WITH the big day right around the corner, here at the Gazette we wanted to do our bit to get residents in the mood for Halloween.
So here's a selection of spooky pictures from our archive over the years.
There are some fantastic costumes featured on people young and old.
Halloween might be a little different this year, but it we're sure residents across north Essex will do their best to make it special.
