Clue/Question:  After eating so much candy, the scary trick-or-treaters were – – –

Answer:  “FRIGHT–FULL“

(A holiday appropriate stinky pun!  None of today’s clue words came up as new, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen any of them.  All of the jumbles came up as new, though.  I stumbled getting “flavor”, as I wrote out two thirds of VALOR, before realizing my mistake.  The answer letter layout was great, but the quotation marks and the hyphen made for a fairly simple solve, for me at least.  Spooky fun cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Halloween Cryptoquote Spoiler – 2017

“Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.”   —   Dean Koontz

(Especially some of those people who thought up the Saw movies, and The Hills Have Eyes, and such!  Those are some very dark – and disturbed – minds, indeed!  Not really a fan of that genre.  It’s the reason why I can’t watch Criminal Minds, as well.  They make it seem like every other person out there is a sadistic serial killer.  I’d like to think a little better of our fragile humanity, thank you.  Our first quote from Dean Koontz, since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  Today’s was a piece of cake, compared to yesterday’s cryptoquote.  Just scanning the first line I was able to figure out the “E”s and the “S”s.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
