A Very Fiendish Fight: Ghosts vs. Goblins

The pumpkin spice lattes are out in full force, and cobwebs are suddenly hanging on walls for decoration. The air is crisp, and the leaves are crunchy. At least if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere. But in many places, a special consequence of autumn is often a palpable sense of the fiendish unknown…

Let’s cut to the chase: we’re headed pell mell into Halloween season at HQ! Last year we brought you Chemical Z, this year we’re bringing you tricks and treats of various sizes to keep you entertained amidst the gloom, doom, and costume parties. On that note, our costume contest is still underway at the EyeWire forum, but this week we’re pleased to serve up a VS battle of ghastly proportions. Pick a fiend, O minions of Grim!

TEAM GHOST: You walk through walls. You’ve transcended corporeal limitations. Need we say more?

TEAM GOBLIN: Mischief is your middle name, or possibly your first. You might still be flesh and bone, but you’ve got a hoard of tricks up your sleeve.

Who will win: the disembodied, or the misbehaving? The competition starts 10/22 at 11:00 AM EDT and runs for 24 hours.
