IF YOU’RE GOING out this fine Halloween weekend, this is the kind of inspired costuming you’ll be competing with.

Alanna Gormley is a makeup artist from Donegal who specialises in nice’n'gory special effects makeup.

For the month of October, she’s been participating in a 31 Days of Halloween challenge – every day, she posts a new spooky look to Instagram.

While she can do a mean skeleton, vampire and black cat, her more grisly looks are where it’s at.

There’s this pumpkin face

Red Riding Hood after an encounter with the Big Bad Wolf

A truly creepy clown

This post-exorcism getup

This NASTY ‘infection’

A casual run-in with a circular saw

And this very gory stapled-on face

The most impressive one though is her latest – this half-werewolf look

Amazing. Alanna’s looks have been getting serious attention on Instagram, where she has over 2,500 followers – the above look has attracted almost 8,000 likes.

With this kind of a build up, we can’t wait to see what she pulls out of the bag for the big day. You can follow Alanna here.
