Being the center of attention at the costume ball is a highlight, no doubt. But the fun fades when that chilling mask refuses to peel off.
This was the unfortunate reality for a woman who chose an exceptionally eerie face mask, only to discover that when Halloween wrapped up, the mask's visage wouldn't leave her face. Now that's an enduring scare!
From Mirror UK:
Many people tend to pull out all the stops for Halloween every year, and each year we see people becoming more and more creative. There are hundreds of costume ideas, and it's a chance to show off your best makeup techniques too.
However, if you have to return to work or school the next day, it can sometimes mean remnants of last night's attire may be a little tricky to wash away fully as one woman knew all too well. Using a 'temporary' Halloween face tattoo, Elizabeth Rose was horrified when she realised the huge scary fake teeth and scar on her face weren't washing off.
Sticking it across her mouth, she then filmed herself trying to remove the ghoulish design afterwards as she realised it wasn't budging. The 46-year-old who also put one on her seven-year-old granddaughter shared a video of her trying to remove it, and wrote alongside it: "Put a tattoo sticker on, join in a bit of Halloween, you know? Put some on my granddaughter as well, she's seven, and my daughter rings up going 'How does it come off?'."
"Well, it can't be that difficult, surely?" She asked as she picked up a cotton wool pad to try and attempt to scrub the sticker off. But it wasn't budging and Elizabeth stressed: "F**k sake, I have meetings tomorrow."
People were quick to offer solutions - as well as laughing at her ordeal - and many people suggested different remedies. One user commented: "The thought of you walking into the office like that has me rolling and I don't even know you!" While a second advised: "Honestly grab a roll of packing clear tape. Put it on smooth and it will peel right off!" However, one TikToker jibed: "You will get all your projects approved if you show up in the meeting like that.

Perhaps the best part of this whole saga is that she's a grandmother who still embraces the wild spirit of Halloween with such gusto. That's pretty remarkable. Personally, I find it so fitting — I hope that Halloween spirit stays with her year-round.
