Halloween plans change: Axarquia and Costa Tropical events moved

Tomorrow night is Halloween in Abu Dhabi, and a Khalidiyah compound is filled with excitement. Kids, between eight and eleven years old, have created their most thrilling costumes and planned spooky surprises. Klara Sønderby, an eleven-year-old Danish girl, moved to Abu Dhabi three and a half years ago. Her costume this year took inspiration from a mad scientist look she discovered on TV.

She crafted her own scars using a mixture of Vaseline, concealer, cornstarch, fake blood, and lipstick. Klara plans to go trick-or-treating with her friends, hoping to collect gummies and Nerds candy packs. Meanwhile, Vilhelm Sønderby, Klara's nine-year-old brother, has been busy printing pumpkins using a 3D printer. Frida Sofia, an eight-year-old with roots in Mexico, Germany, and Russia, has a witch-themed costume made with her mom's help.

She is particularly excited about her personalized witch's skirt and plans to host a unique "scary" house with her mother disguised as La Llorona. Last but not least, Radhika Suresh, an eleven-year-old from the UAE, is dressed as a vampire inspired by a Malayalam film. She eagerly anticipates visiting the scariest houses on Halloween night.
