Facebook releases Halloween-themed reactions, Snapchat-like lenses for live video

HOUSTON – Facebook is getting in the Halloween spirit.

The social media platform released Halloween-themed reactions just in time for the spooky holiday. When a Facebook user reacts on a post, he or she will have the options of a laughing witch for "Haha," ghost for "Wow," a crying Frankenstein for "Sad" and mean-faced pumpkin for "Angry."

The reactions are for a limited time only, available through Halloween.

This isn't the first time that Facebook has created customized reactions. In honor of the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek," Facebook rolled out "Star Trek" themed buttons.

Facebook also released Snapchat-like lenses through its live video feature.

"If you're looking to share moments in real time with added flair, you will soon be able to go live on Facebook wearing a mask," according to a Facebook news release.

There are several Halloween-themed masks, including a skull, an evil queen, a pumpkin and a witch, which are available for a limited time. Click here to learn more about how to use Facebook masks.
