We asked for your ‘petrifying’ Halloween pictures, and you certainly delivered.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Scottish Government explicitly advised against trick or treating – or guising – in a bid to stop the potential spread of the deadly virus.

Families across Scotland instead celebrated at home and shared their ‘spooky snaps’ with STV News.

On Saturday, we showcased some of our favourite costumes.

From witches and wizards to killer dolls and zombies, here’s some more ‘fang-tastic’ pictures.
