    The Best Of The Internet's Reaction To Halloween

    Twitter jokes ahoy.

    1. There was plenty of useful advice on how to get through the day.

    2. And plenty of gags.

    3. And topical satire.

    5. London Underground got kudos on Twitter for joining in the fun.

    6. Though the supermarkets didn't quite nail it, to be honest.

    9. Some people called for a bit of sympathy for the undead.

    10. Others called for a return to the true spirit of the festival.

    13. But, of course, there was justified acclaim for the truly creative costumes.

    16. But then someone came up with the most chilling Halloween costume of all.

    17. And yet somehow none of it was quite as terrifying as this.
