WOOOO! It’s the 2020 Halloween name change competition

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.
