1. Pumpkins :3

I couldn't think of a good Starcraft one this year, but if your nerd powers are great, you may be able to tell what my pumpkins are:

Prawn from D9

If any trick or treater is able to id one, they're getting a free copy of Broodwar. Speaking of which...

2. D-LEVEL HALLOWEEN BATTLE REPORT

TvZ with ghosts and spider(mine)s

I started out with a Mech FE build off 1 fact with mines, while adding my armory and starport quickly afterwards for Valkyries. I deny his third for a while with the vultures while he builds up a number of mutas only to find out I have 3 valks. After taking my 3rd, the build gets spooky with covert ops and a second barracks.

It's easy to defend 3 bases on FS as Terran with a minimal number of tanks, so I'm free to run around with my vultures and valks and keeping him on 3 bases.

Meanwhile I build up my army of ghosts!

All my gas is used on valks, air upgrades, and ghosts while dumping all my minerals on vultures off 7+ facts. I deny his 4th by dumping mines everywhere while picking off any spotter overlords with the valks. With all the mines I got away with only 2ish tanks at each expo with depot walls.

All the previous vultures died to 2 sunks, but I had a backup plan...

I tried using the ghosts as muta defence, but the mutas just killed all my scvs and left

Eventually Z got starved by mines and ghosts sitting all all the expo spots. He tried a last ditch attack on my main with hydras, but lost all ovies to 3/3 valks and pulled a ggaemo.
