YetAnotherBOOkyMumsnet · 27/10/2022 16:52

As knees knock and fingers tremble
The spookiest Mumsnetters doth assemble
For it’s that time of year once more
Of ghosts and ghouls - monsters and gore
As legendary as the Mumsnet chicken
So terrifying it makes your breathing quicken
What is it!? we hear your stricken cries
What’s all this about a rubbish prize?
Can it be a scary premonition?
Why - it’s the Halloween Name Change Competition!

Welcome, you diabolical bunch, to the 2022 Halloween Name Change Competition! 👹Halloween ShockHalloween Grin

Enter by posting on this thread under your terrifying new name, which should be a clever play on your usual username.

You have until Monday 31st October to post on this thread with your name change (in your post, do remember to tell us what your usual, non-scary name is) and we'll then create a shortlist of the ten best ones which we’ll put to a vote at MNHQ. We’ll then announce the winner on Tuesday 1st November.

The winner will receive whatever we can find lurking in the back of the cupboard at MNHQ a surprise in the post!

i would change it to something implying the witches are doing the hunting. But I am absolutely not fucking about with German grammar. Far scarier than anything going bump in the night.
