Come here all witches - park your brooms,
For ’tis the time when horror looms,
As spooky ghosts and ghouls assemble,
Knees knock and fingers tremble,
Come and join us - warts and all,
While nights grow dark and spiders crawl…

Welcome, you terrifying bunch, to the 2020 Halloween name change competition! Halloween Smile

To be in with a chance of winning a prize, enter by posting on this thread under your spooky new name, which should be a clever play on your usual username.

You have until Thursday 29th October to take part and we’ll announce the winner, as chosen by MNHQ, on Saturday 31st October.

This year, because we can’t go trick-or-treating, or leap out at unsuspecting pedestrians, we’d also like to see pics of your horrifying pumpkins - the funniest one will win a bonus prize.

And if all this isn’t bone-chilling enough for your spooky needs, why not take a cobwebby walk through the annals of Mumsnet Classics with this creepy compendium of woo.

@JustscreamMumsnet

It's been done before I know but always feels good to dust it off and roll it out again Halloween Grin
An oldie but a goodie!!

Much like me 🤣

BiggestGhoulie · 30/10/2020 19:20

I guess I missed the deadline. Changed from BiggestJulie... but since I spent all that time working out how to change my name before I noticed the deadline, I am posting anyway...

YetARRGHnotherBeckyMumsnet · 30/10/2020 12:28

SpookyGin · 29/10/2020 18:14

Does anyone still carve turnips into Jack o' lanterns instead of pumpkins? Less stringy, gloopy and smelly. Halloween Wink

I hate the stuff that comes out of the middle of pumpkins, it's so gross, slimy and stringy. Psyching myself up for ours tomorrow. Bleugh Halloween Envy

Mybestspookyname · 29/10/2020 10:57

I hate carving pumpkins with a passion (the smell! The mess! The effort!) so here's my alternative Halloween melon Halloween Smile
