VAULT INTERVIEW: AntonM
The Master of Horror here on Newgrounds. The creator of the Still Spineless Series. His movies have made Newgrounds laugh, scared, and quite honestly put on edge.
Newgrounds would have an annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. You could either carve a real pumpkin or if your hands aren't that steady and knives freak you out, you could use the Carve n' Share made by @Evil-Dog. People still make their own carvings every Halloween! You can add yours to the ranks. Share your Jack-O'-Lantern with all of us in the comments section today!

STORIES
Halloween crap!!!
Have you got any cool stuff to show off for Halloween? Could be decorations, candy, a video you found, anything and everything Halloween related! Share it with the rest of Newgrounds!
A LOOK BACK AT THREADS OF THE PAST
A little ghost story.
Before the Writing Forum existed, stories were posted to General. @Monocrom brought us this horror, detective, thriller, back in 2007. It was a story told over the course of a year and then some. It is one of Newgrounds finest stories on the site. A perfect read for Halloween.
"It's odd, but story ideas often pop into my head. Ironically, I'll often get the Beginning, the Ending, and one or two scenes first. Then the rest develops on its own. This one developed much faster than all the others. I had been working on my first short story collection at the time for New Grounds. This was supposed to be the crown jewel in that collection. But it wouldn't stop developing in my head. Soon I realized I had a story that needed its own thread. The very first scenes I had were the Ending and the scene in which Alice is held up and prevented from tumbling down the stairs by the ghost. Those two scenes remained unchanged. Sometimes I'll just pick a subject or story idea, and it just comes to me. I wanted to write my own take on a ghost story. And it hit me in the head like a 90mph fastball."

RECIPES FROM THE NEWGROUNDS COMMUNITY
Welcome back to the Newgrounds Kitchen! For Halloween we have two recipes for you. One courtesy of Deep Fried Live! Toasted Pumpkin Seeds. The other courtesy of @The-Great-One. A punch that you can throw together real quick for that last minute beverage for your Halloween Party!
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
This episode of Deep Fried Live! has a lot of recipes. There are recipes for Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Flan, and even Pumpkin Soup. We will focus on the Pumpkin Seeds today.
INGREDIENTS
- Pumpkin seeds
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt & Pepper (or other spices*)
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
STEP 2: Rinse the seeds clean of any pumpkin flesh and pat dry.
STEP 3: In a mixing bowl, toss the seeds with olive oil. Season with salt & pepper.
STEP 4: Place the seeds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
*Here's where you can get creative: try your favorite Indian or Mexican spices, or maybe something nutty, like nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix and match until you find something you really like.
Granny's Punch
A favorite of The-Great-One. This was a punch that his Granny would make for get togethers. It can be made really quick if you need punch in a pinch.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 packs Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid
- 1 small can orange juice
- 3/4 bottle ginger ale
- Small amount of water
STEP 1: Make Kool-Aid according to directions on the package. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
STEP 2: In a punch bowl, combine the Kool-Aid, ginger ale, orange juice, and water.
STEP 3: Stir together and serve.
This special edition has a fine selection of horror and Halloween themed games. I hope you enjoy them all this Halloween! Special thanks to @Friissy for helping find one of the games I was looking for to add to this console.
Welcome to the Horror Matinee. A collection of fun and scary Halloween movies from Newgrounds. All of them can be viewed in the new Newgrounds Video Player so you can marathon all of them without worrying about one being skipped. I hope you enjoy.
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. It is time for the dark and morose. A time for scary stories, scaring others, and of course... CANDY! However you decide to celebrate Halloween this year, I hope you celebrate safely. Don't do anything stupid and get yourself hurt. Don't eat as much candy as you want... you will regret it later. I hope you have a lot of fun on Halloween Night. If you're killing time, there's plenty in this special edition that can keep you occupied and get you into the season of the witch. Happy Halloween!
