Dressing up to take part in Halloween fun across the country.
Halloween parties are underway in towns and cities around Ireland with a monster parade in Dublin.
Spectres, sorcerers and skeletons. Anything goes tonight as long as you're dressed up.
For those who really want a scare, there is the Dublin Ghost Bus Tour and The Exorcist at the cinema.
For younger monsters, it is the Halloween custom of looking for treats.
