A car spotted on Maltese roads yesterday had an arm hanging out of the trunk – spooking some of the drivers.
Upon further inspection however, the arm was part of the overall Halloween atmosphere as the driver decorated their car for the occasion.
We’ve seen houses decorated for the spooky feast, but have you spotted any other cars decorated for Halloween?

Heidi Klum once again outdid herself at her 23rd Annual Halloween Party, this time transforming into E.T. from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 cult classic. The supermodel, 51, arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City dressed as the beloved alien, alongside her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, 35, who joined her in a stripped-back version of E.T.’s look.
In a nod to the movie’s memorable scenes, Klum donned a platinum blonde wig, a black bowler hat, a floral slip dress, and a fur scarf around her neck. Kaulitz’s E.T. sported the iconic ‘nude’ look from the character’s original reveal. The duo reenacted scenes from the film, using remote-controlled mechanics to wave and point, with their fingers intertwined as they strolled the red carpet.

Klum documented her Halloween preparations on Instagram, sharing glimpses of her extensive makeup and prosthetics. Fans were delighted by the homage to E.T., with one social media user exclaiming, “Kills it EVERY SINGLE TIME.” Klum’s elaborate costume cements her title as the reigning Queen of Halloween.

The ongoing MCAST dispute over the delayed Collective Agreement has sparked concern from both the Partit Nazzjonalista (PN) and MCAST students, who are feeling the strain of ongoing disruptions.
In a recent statement, the PN condemned the government’s three-year delay in addressing the agreement, which, they argue, has left educators and students in an “unacceptable” state of limbo.
With the Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) enforcing directives, the PN emphasised the impact on students’ educational experiences and called on the government to lead with transparency and commitment to resolve the issue.
Students, meanwhile, voiced increasing frustration over how the delays have disrupted their studies, especially under the MUT directives. One student detailed the consequences: exams have been cancelled, grades withheld, and assignment approvals delayed, making it unclear whether students can progress academically.
This uncertainty has been particularly hard for final-year students facing critical thesis deadlines.
“Students are being left in the dark,” the student explained, noting that Kunsill Studenti MCAST’s (KSM) portrayal of the situation misrepresents students’ urgent need for clarity on their academic status, not simply released marks.
They stressed solidarity with lecturers, who are rightfully seeking fair compensation, and placed responsibility for the issue on the government and MCAST’s leadership. Both PN and students demand swift government action to prevent further setbacks to students’ education and future.

The Standards Commissioner dismissed a complaint by Norman Lowell, leader of Imperium Europa, claiming that Parliamentary Secretary Rebecca Buttiġieġ breached the ministerial code of ethics through a Facebook comment.
Lowell’s complaint followed a Broadcasting Authority decision to fine RTK103 radio €4,660 for excluding him from a pre-election discussion program.
In response, Buttiġieġ posted on Facebook advocating against hate speech, arguing that promoting views that undermine others’ fundamental rights threatens democracy and public safety.
Lowell argued that Buttiġieġ’s comment was misinformed and unethical. The Commissioner assessed two points: whether her comment reasonably described Imperium Europa’s views and whether her position allowed her to express such opinions.
Regarding the first, the Commissioner confirmed that Buttiġieġ’s remarks were based on established facts, noting that Lowell had previous convictions for hate speech and that Imperium Europa’s website historically contained anti-democratic statements.
On the second point, the Commissioner concluded that Buttiġieġ, as a public official, maintained the right to express personal political views on non-state platforms like Facebook. Since no misuse of state media occurred, the Commissioner found no basis for further investigation, clearing Buttiġieġ of any ethics violations.
