Great set of submissions. I love the goat in the hat, but Larkspur wins by a whisker for me.
 
Tough choices in this one, as usual. I like scorpa's grumpy kitty in costume, and hypatia's goat for the cute-factor. Borek's orange-mist house does well on the eerie-ness scale. All the folks in costumes (especially the kids) rate on the tradition list. And then the spooky jack-o-lanterns cross over on a few categories for me.

So...I'm going with Integral's really evil looking jack-o-lantern! Too often, they look just cute, and I like seeing one done well to look evil and scary. Something about the angle of the photo seems to contribute to that feeling too.
 
Them zombies, they just kill me.
 
I'm torn between Integral, borek, hypatia, Zz, and scorpa.

Integral's pumpkin is just so cute though.
 
You have less than 2 days left to cast a vote in this contest. Don't miss it, or it'll be scary!

Integral's pumpkin is definitely scariest. :eek:
 
While the US Presidential election was a landslide, the polling for this contest is still too close to call with one day left. So every vote counts!

Scorpa's cat is one of my all time favorite pictures. I can just imagine what that cat is thinking.
