Some people just lose their head in front of a TV camera.

Take British weather presenter Alex Deakin, who appeared to be headless during a Halloween report for the United Kingdom’s Met Office service on Tuesday:

Happy Halloween! Here's your spooky headless forecast for today & trick or treating tonight #Halloween https://t.co/0NJKMlwPvc 🎃👻🧙♀️ pic.twitter.com/PoMFAtCE7T

Aided by his special effects team, Deakin looked to be holding his own head under his arm.

The stunt went down well on Twitter, and inspired fans to cook up their own Halloween-themed puns in Deakin’s honor:

Can we have a heads-up on the weather please??
