Halloween INFLATION fears..

EXPLORE BLOW-UP MONSTER TRAIL ACROSS CITY THIS WEEKEND

- JENNA CAMPBELL

MANCHESTER has been invaded by a collection of inflatable monsters.

Taking over the rooftops of some of the city's most well-known buildings and landmarks, 16 giant monsters have taken residence at venues including The Arndale, the AO Arena and Mayfield Park.

The spooktacular installations are part of Halloween in the City organised by Manchester BID and CityCo - and they've gone to town with this year's ghoulish ensemble.

As well as the monster trail, this weekend the city will host a number of family-friendly events.

This year, new monsters, created by artists Filthy Luker and Pedro Estrellas, will take over the city's streets, including Wibbly Wobbly Williams at AO Arena and Hellvis at Manchester Arndale.
