With Halloween just around the corner, EastEnders has given us our first look at The Vic's "spooktacular" party to mark the event, which will be "complete with ghoulish guests".

In the first-look images, Colin Salmon's George Knight can be seen serving drinks from the behind the bar at The Queen Vic, which has been decked out with cobwebs and other decorations.
He is wearing a suit of armour, while other images see Harriet Thorpe's Elaine with bright red hair and a black dress costume, and Kellie Bright's Linda in a black dress with a cobweb design.

The party is set to play out over two episodes, airing on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st October.
The synopsis for the episode on 30th October says: "Halloween brings a shock for Linda, Ben tries to protect Lexi from more heartache and Nish lays down the law."

Meanwhile, the synopsis for Halloween's episode says: "Keanu tries to play the hero, and Halloween at The Vic continues. A desperate Rocky has nowhere to turn."
Eastenders boss Chris Clenshaw previously teased what fans can expect this Halloween on the Square, saying: "Poor Linda's struggling this Halloween as it's the first one without Mick; obviously she wasn't with Mick this time last year, but Halloween was very much their thing, and something they did together in the Vic.
"So, she's trying her best to make a go of things, but she gets one hell of a surprise that she doesn't bargain for..."

Of course, Halloween may not be the foremost celebration on most EastEnders fans' minds - that is likely to be Christmas, which we know will bring about a mystery character's murder, as seen in the flash-forward at the start of this year.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer. Visit our dedicated EastEnders page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers. If you're looking for more to watch, check out our TV Guide and Streaming Guide.
