Expect to see vampires, werewolves, Frankensteins and all the other usual suspects.

This year also promises to bring a surge in sinister killer clowns, after the recent wave of sightings plaguing the country.

Smoke appears to bellow out from inside of a chain of branded Samsung boxes attached to a t-shirt in the inventive get-up.
