Help! Do you think they have spied us? Ghoulies and monsters and spiders, We're frightened to death Can't catch our breath, Who can we find that will hide us? An eye with no face - what a freak, A hand with no arm makes me shriek, That eye it is peeping, Those fingers are creeping They're finding my throat - ooohh....arghhhh...... eeek.........!!! I thought I'd post this early before there is a glut of such posts. Photo is of edible fingers baked by my friend @justplainsilly and used with her permission.

Did you eat these fingers just like any other biscuits or were you repelled? They don't look appetising, do they? Of course, cannibals may see them differently. :-)

@MALUSE No, I didn't get the chance to eat them because she lives in America. I think I could have eaten them quite happily.

@MALUSE , there is no way, absolutely no way that I could eat those cookies, just the look is a huge TURN OFF for me.

@rebelann No we don't get trick or treaters here, we don't go big on Halloween. The fingers are great, aren't they?

@AkoPinay I think the nails are made from almonds, so would probably taste quite nice

I had seen the recipe online last year, but I did not dare to make them, they look disgusting. I think I am going to make again my little ghost biscuits.

@jaboUK No, I did not, because the idea to watch at amputated fingers made me sick. The little ghosts are funny, I can even consider Halloween muffins with cobwebs and a cute spider on the top.

@jaboUK I sat here looking at the fingers for awhile lol I knew they weren't real but it took me awhile to realise they were biscuits and it made me want to try and make them! Just so cool! Loved the poem too of course! Will admit it did scare me a little because I'm alone in my room and it's night time lol

Good one! I did mine early for the same reason Those fingers in the picture are so real like. Although the snack might have been delicious but the look now have made it unappealing. I like all things Halloween except on food

@Daljinder It's only due to the American influence that Halloween has taken off here.
