Where there is no imagination there is no horror

As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rightly states, we need imagination to truly live the ghostly emotions of Halloween. So here, Swide has put on their thinking caps and now all you need to do is choose your costume for the night.

'Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet
