Seventeen puzzles for the last night of October: the main Halloween list, the Spooky words of a dark house, the Monsters of myth and film, the Ghosts and Witches, the Vampires and Zombies, the Skeletons and the Bats, the Trick or Treat walk from door to door, the Horror Movies shelf and the Sanderson sisters of Hocus Pocus.
Halloween grew out of Samhain, the Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest and the start of winter, when the boundary with the dead was thought to be thin. Irish and Scottish immigrants brought the customs to North America in the 1800s, and trick or treating spread across the United States after the Second World War.

Each print is a fresh draw from the topic's word list, and every sheet comes with an answer key. The same puzzles play online, on your own or against a friend in real time.
