Eurovision Spook Contest: Stars dress up for Halloween 2017

Halloween 2017 is upon us — the one night of the year when it’s socially acceptable to look truly ghastly.

As usual, the stars fiends of the Eurovision world are rising to the occasion. There are malevolent Melfest monsters, nasty national finalists, and eerie Eurovision veterans.

From chilling costumes to freakish filters, we’ve rounded up some of the best Halloween 2017 action on social media especially for your enjoyment.

Proceed with caution, demons and scantily clad clowns lie ahead.

It’s not all about dressing up. Others marked the spooky season without donning any macabre make up or horrifying hairdos. Anggun sent her little one trick-or-treating, Ace Wilder had a dinner with friends, Emma Marrone soaked up creepy vibes in New York, while Manuella gave her followers a quick history lesson.
