Hundreds of children donned colourful costumes and mostrous masks as they joined terrifying Halloween trails.
The Highgate Society held its annual Halloween trail involving shops, pubs and households "who stepped up to be involved" on October 31 between 5pm and 7pm.
Around 1,000 children and their carers ventured along the pre-prepared trail, with adults carrying buckets to raise money for the Christmas Lights appeal.
James Wilkinson, speaking on behalf of the Highgate Society, said: "Some of the costumes and make-up on display last night were incredible – it was a truly fantastic evening!
He added: "We raised about £500 on the night to put towards the costs of this year’s Highgate Village Christmas Lights. It was a night filled with fun, colour and noise and is definitely a firm favourite date in the calendar!"
Over in Crouch End, around 500 children went on a Halloween trail organised by estate agent David Astburys and Crouch End Festival (CEF).
Marketing manager Inci Serbetli said she was "thrilled" with how the trail was received.
She said: "It is designed to bring smiles, laughter, and a touch of spooky excitement to our neighbourhood and all about bringing local businesses and families together.
"We've always been about more than just being an estate agent – we're about fostering a sense of togetherness in the communities we serve and we couldn’t do it without the support of everyone around us."
Crouch End Festival director Chris Currer said: "We’re always happy to do something silly. As long as it’s fun and funny, then we’re in.
"Over 500 kids and a giggle each time."
