The scenery was spooky, to say the least. From gruesome graveyards to smirking pumpkins, your entries into NewsFun's annual Halloween Art Contest were sometimes creepy, sometimes comical, but always creative.
Participants were asked to submit a drawing of a Halloween scene. Some 500 of you did. The contest was judged by members of The Roanoke Times Art Department.

Jessica Boatwright, a second-grader at Back Creek Elementary School in Roanoke County, is the winner in the second-third-grade category.
