Runners up are almost just as ghastly, but there can only be one true king. They are:
The Withers Group with their Pumpkin Sacrifice

The other diabolical creations:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the pumpkin carving! They all look exceedingly spooky, and will make excellent decor for Halloween Stressbusters!
Hope to see you all there!
