The words
Which Halloween words are in it?
From pumpkin and ghost to cauldron and werewolf: the list runs through a whole Halloween night, from the decorations on the porch to the monsters on the street. Long words like broomstick and scarecrow often run diagonally through the grid, short words like ghost and candy are actually harder to see because they can hide anywhere.
