Halloween Thrillers

Costume drama Delhi has a new festival. Spooks were not always celebrated with theme parties and edgy outfits, reports HT Correspondent.

The expats in Chanakyapuri are dictating the dress code in the rest of Delhi as Chinese products (read: scary stuff) are entering local markets.

Kriti Creations (we went to the one in Khan Market), best known for selling Feng Shui bric-a-brac, has an impressive range of Halloween get-ups.

The ritual of trick-or-treat may not be common in our parts, but you might change your mind after browsing through the pile of, well, butchered arms and legs (Rs 300-400), eyeball-goggles with veins popping out (Rs 120), and skeleton costumes (Rs 1,200). Think Addams Family.

Here are some Halloween parties you could go to wearing these.
