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.

@superhauntedvagina

I mean, I was fairly spooky already with *@hauntedvagina*...
Not name changing; I just don't think superhauntedvagina can be beaten Grin

Normally AdditionalCharacter

TheOrchidKiller · 20/10/2020 17:25

From Theorchidkiller to TheorchidThriller.

Or just Thekiller.

Or just leave it as it is. The orchids are still dead.

FrangipaniWHOOOOO · 20/10/2020 17:20

LaMarschallin · 20/10/2020 17:10

I'm tempted to go all argh!-nagram with AlarmAnChills*, but wish I could put an apostrophe after the "An".
Still, lots of people find bad/absent punctuation scary, don't they?

*Oh god, I hope that actually is an anagram of LaMarschallin...

Devillishlypicklypickles · 20/10/2020 17:08

ChillerKillerCroissant · 20/10/2020 15:48

I may have jumped the gun here, I changed at the start of October but I'm normally ChicCroissant. I would generally kill for a croissant all 12 months of the year though Halloween Grin

I'm usually PolkadotsAndMoonbeams.

I don't know if I'm eligible because I've used the name before? I'm really placemarking to see pumpkin pictures for inspiration. Halloween Smile

BlackeyedSusan · 20/10/2020 12:44

Yeah yeah, I name changed for Halloween in 2018, didn't get round to changing it and spent a whole yeaar being gruesome... It was a pretty gruesome year to be fair, actually it has been a pretty gruesome decade)
