Since multiple people guessed the exact answer in both contests the final winners were chosen randomly from those with correct answers. We hope you enjoyed our Halloween Spooktacular Trick or Treat Walkthrough! We will announce the winners of the social media photo contest and the QR Quiz on Wednesday.

For the last edition of MUNDO MONDAY’S MONSTER MONTH, we’re talking about CREATING A MONSTER! Many stories have been told about people who create life that then gets out of control, but what makes these things monsters? Is it about how they're made, or what you put into them? This is illustrated, both good and bad, in the story of the Golem of Prague. Read in this video: The Golem, by Beverly Brodsky McDermott. J.B. Lippencott, 1976.... https://youtu.be/GJ7ImCxN4w0
