First Place
Abandoned Path by Green
This particular template stood out because of its excellent use of mobile code. It's fully functional across every platform. It also makes use of advanced CSS and included various small animations to accentuate the theme. I loved the details down to the background image and the little bat list pips. It stuck to the theme without relying on cliche, and the use of blue shades really made it really pop.
Second Place
I've Got My Eyes on You by lemon
This beautiful template took an out of the box approach to the theme that nonetheless suited it perfectly. It's clean and crisp with strong design elements that make it both flexible and unique. I can honestly see myself using this one in the future!
Third Place
The Ritual by Dug
This template not only fit the theme, it used awesome animation on the widget titles that both caught me off guard and delighted me. It's a tidy template that, despite its obvious Halloween origins, can suit a variety of character archetypes.
Honorable Mentions
Moonlit Trees by Platybae
Here was another template that fit the theme to a T. The background image lent itself to a nice, subtle palette that was consistent and cohesive throughout the template. It's Halloween, but it's not in your face about it. It's a spooky, haunting template that has potential for a variety of applications, and I really enjoyed that aspect.
Bad Moon Rising by BobbinK
Ok, can we just take a moment to appreciate that awesome page tabs animation? I have literally never seen that on a template before, and it was freakin' amazing. I wish I could code like that. With the sanguine color scheme and almost serial killer style, this was definitely one I could see people using.
What Was That?! by Carty
This template is not for the faint of heart. Use of a gif banner definitely made this one of the spookier entries! I loved how the title overlaid the gif, and the narrow column of the text body makes you feel like you're walking down a corridor.
City Branches by Konnie
This template is definitely versatile. I've already seen it in use by many modern characters! While not as strictly Halloween as the other entries, it's nonetheless one that people like and will make good use of. I really enjoyed the portrait container shape.
