Last month, children’s author Bruce Coville published the first part of a scary Halloween story in The Post-Standard and syracuse.com, and invited local kids to finish the story, titled “ Norbert Spaghetti Pants and the Cauldron of Doom .”

We received more than 300 entries this year. A majority of those were in the very competitive 4-5th grade category.

Choosing just one winner for each grade was extremely difficult, and our team of judges enjoyed reading all the tales you sent.

Below are the judges’ favorite entries from each age group, as well as honorable mentions.

Thank you to all the children, parents, guardians and teachers who participated this year. (We especially loved some of the drawings you sent, and all your twisty endings).

Enjoy, and happy Halloween.
