Spook-tactular quiz Mi-Amigo, great end to the Hallo-week Community Event.

Pretty happy with my result despite a few tricky ones in there, I also loved my cheekiness of putting the 1st of November... I wondered if you would accept it. 😂

Well done to everyone else, it's nice to see we all got at least a couple right in this creepy WRQ. ✌️
