Solve our terrifyingly tricky crossword for the chance to get a terrific treat.
Hello and welcome to the Torn City Times Crossword number 46. This month's crossword is Halloween themed, kinda. You'll see, you'll all see!

But first, the answer to last month's crossword: Some Really Stupid Nonsense Sentence! The first person to answer correctly was Aaassh, and our three randomly selected runner-uppers were: Emforus, ahhua, biosterous.

Congratulations to the winners, your prizes will be sent out shortly after I have finished carving my human heads into the shape of pumpkins. Here is a picture of the full crossword which was created by Blarghzilla. I am sorry for their handwriting...




THIS MONTH'S PUZZLE


Duke should be proud of me (I am proud of me), as I carved a pumpkin out of digital pixels into a crossword. The answer to this crossword is scrambled like candies into 26 red blood-clotted boxes (it's my own pixel blood, and it is clean). That means the answer is also 26 letters long and relates to what Halloween is about.
