Halloween Crossword Puzzles with Answers Online

Halloween has more history than the plastic skeletons in shop windows suggest. It grew out of the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest, travelled to America with Irish immigrants, and somewhere along the way picked up carved pumpkins, trick-or-treating and costume parties. Halloween crosswords collect all of that in one grid: jack-o'-lanterns, witches, ghosts, werewolves, black cats, cobwebs and the odd vampire. Easy puzzles suit children who are getting ready for a party, and the tougher ones ask about folklore, old customs and where familiar traditions came from. Answers are checked as you solve, hints are available if a clue stumps you, and everything runs free in the browser with no registration, so you can try a grid on your phone before the first knock at the door.
