Hey everyone!

Halloween is just around the corner, so I thought it would be cool to start a thread about awesome Halloween inspired names. It is one of my favoriteeeee holidays, so this should be fun. You can post names that are somehow tied to the actual holiday or something spooky in general...lol. They don't have to be names you would actually use, so feel free to go wild. I'll start by adding my list... All of my favs are in bold print!
