Twelve answers pack this 10x11 medium Halloween crossword, and the mix leans deliciously eerie: a stone crypt, a quiet city of gravestones, the garlic that keeps vampires at bay, and the cobwebs spiders leave behind. With a bigger grid and longer entries than the first medium puzzle, it suits middle-grade students and adults who like a puzzle with some bite. Expect a few crossings that take real thinking.
Drop it into a Friday-before-Halloween sub tub, run it as a pre-parade seatwork page, or save it for the living room while candy is being handed out. Print Puzzle prints the blank grid and clue list on letter or A4 paper; Print Answer Key puts the finished grid on its own page so you can settle disputes instantly, and Save as PDF in the print dialog turns it into a file you can reuse every October. From here, try medium Halloween crosswords three and four or roam the rest of the printable crossword collection.
