Halloween Contest Winners '09

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!

No need to try. Do some Warlock hocus pocus magic and throw the judges into a stupor so that they give you first prize :) LOL

Thanks Matt, I know you'll get the prize sooner or later--your costumes have ALWAYS been way better than mine (I'm thinking Edward Scissorhands and even that giant freaking coke can).  I was totally shocked you didn't get enough votes to be a finalist.  I loved the costume, especially the last minute additions like the pimp cane and the hammer.

Holy Halloween!!!  I'm absolutely thrilled to have won and very grateful for all the nice comments and positive feedback.  Congrats to all the winners with your amazing projects!   It's so great to be part of such an awesome community.  Thanks to everyone at Instructables for creating the perfect stage for us to put on the big show.

I can't help but think that I've somehow come full circle from when I was six-years-old (in 1973) and my mom made a Batman costume for me out of a pair of long underwear.  :)  I'm already looking forward to next year and knee deep in plans, so be sure to tune in.  Same bat time…same bat channel.
