Instructables is happy to announce the winners of the Halloween Contest! 

This is our biggest contest of the year for our favorite holiday and we were thrilled to see all of the amazing ideas that you all came up with. From cool little candies that only a serial killer would love to a massive Batman display there was a lot of awesomeness to dig through.

First of all, we'd like to thank everyone for entering. There were over 350 entries this year! You are all what make this holiday so extra special and we want to thank you for that.  Remember that any Instructables entered after this contest deadline are eligible for next year's contest!

We'd also like to thank everyone who helped to judge, including member judges mikeasaurus, Romado12187, unklstuart, =SMART=, and SaskView.

And of course we'd also like to thank all of the awesome partners who put up prizes for the contest! They rock! 

So with all of that said, let's see who won!
