The night is over: the website is back to its usual look. See you next Halloween.
Chapter I
A book that
won't open.
It turned up in the attic of the house on the hill, a hundred years after that night in 1926. Its pages are stuck together. They only come apart when someone answers.
Every answer leaves a letter. The letters make a name. And tonight, names open doors.
Contains scares · Better with sound
I have a face but no head, eyes that cannot see, and a smile that only lights up when a candle burns inside me. What am I?
Hint
Tonight there are seven like me hidden very close to here.
The more you take away from me, the bigger I get. What am I?
Hint
Ask whoever digs a grave.
Among this year's costumes there is one who reads the future in a crystal ball. Who is it?
Hint
It needs no costume to see what's coming: it does it every hour.
Multiply the pumpkins hidden on the Halloween page by the legs of whoever weaves in the corners. What number do you get?
Hint
You already know the pumpkins. Count the legs on any spider on the site.
I go through walls without opening doors, and nobody sees me until they throw a sheet over me. What am I?
Hint
If I scare you, I say “boo”.
Something is shouted in the crypt when nobody is looking. Write it.
Hint
You'll have to open it first. Seven pumpkins, remember?
Four digits sleep in the chest of the haunted house. What are they?
Hint
Go into the house with some light and look for the numbered notes. One per digit.
The word
Seven letters.
An ancient name.
- N
- A
- H
- S
- I
- M
- A
Put them in order. It's the name the ancients gave to this night. Someone in costume already told you.
SAMHAIN
The night when the veil between the living and the dead becomes so thin you can walk through it. Elvira knew. That's why she has waited a hundred years for someone to say it.
