A Halloween for everyone

The scent of caramelized apples mingled with the damp earthiness of autumn leaves and lit with Jack O'Lanterns flickering in the twilight marks the season of Halloween. This year, we embrace creativity unbound—show us anything from the macabre and terrifying to the sweet and wholesome.

Seven entries per category permitted.
You are permitted to repost your entries online, such as on FB or the Renderosity Galleries, and talk about your entries, and to encourage others to come view or enter the contest.
If a profanity, violence, or nudity tag would be required for your entry, the entry cannot be used in the contest.
Questionable entries will be sent for Staff Review and take 24 hours to get back. If you submit an image that has to be sent for Staff Review, and there is not enough time left before the contest deadline to conduct the Staff Review, it will be rejected.
No thumbnail is required, it is automatically generated for you.
No nudity is allowed. Nudity is defined as exposure greater than what can be seen wearing a string-thong bikini. However, regardless of attire, an image presented in a manner that may be inappropriate will be sent for a Staff Review.

However, post-processing of an image created entirely by the artist for color correction, tone, saturation, and adding effects using A.I. software is permitted. You must be able to state that you own the image and that no part of the image can conflict with any copyright laws. A detailed workflow must be entered in the description box. Please be prepared to send the managers your original image upon request.
