Naya Thorn as A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger

18 of Liverpool's most thrilling Halloween looks

by · Liverpool Echo

Where better to look for Halloween inspiration than those who transform themselves into gorgeous drag queens daily

Bookmark

It's well-documented that Liverpool has no shortage of talent when it comes to drag queens. Week in and week out, the Pride Quarter performers pull out all the stops to entertain the hundreds who enjoy the city's safe spaces.

Whether it be DJing, comedy, hosting or lip-synching, the LGBTQ+ venues have you covered. Of course, an equally important part of the job the queens will tell you is how they look and portray themselves. This is no more evident than when it comes to the month of October, in the lead up to Halloween.

From retakes of fan favourites to glamorised horror characters, the talented bunch haven't missed a beat in the last few weeks. What makes it even more impressive, these thrilling looks - hair and make-up - are all produced by entertainers themselves.
