Winter is coming. But before that we've got Halloween, and if you're like us you've done absolutely nothing to get yourself in that spooky sort of mood.

Well luckily for you, us lot at Digital Spy have been slaving over a hot cauldron all day to come up with some amazing ideas: here's a list of Halloween costumes inspired by the characters from some of 2016's biggest movies to get you started. We promise they are both cheap and easy (especially the last one).

Now you've sorted yourself out, how about a pumpkin idea that will surely make you the envy of all your friends?

HBO has teamed up with a charming Northerner to show us how to carve the fearsome Night King from Game of Thrones into your pumpkin.

We never thought we'd say it, but the leader of the White Walkers (or Wights, if you must) looks rather good in orange.

And if, after that, you want something Game of Thrones-related that is truly, truly TERRIFYING, then you can click here to read what may possibly be spoilers for the entirety of season seven.

What to Read Next

We won't know for sure if those spoilers are true or not, but the site that posted them did the same for season six, and their predictions turned out to be correct, so if you do get a heart attack then we can't be held responsible.

Game of Thrones returns for its shorter seventh season, also its penultimate, next summer on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK.

Game of Thrones: Season 6 is available now on Digital HD and on Blu-ray, DVD on November 14.
