**IMPORTANT NEW INFO:** It is recommended that you not use Imgur to host your photos, as some members may not be able to see your submission. A hosting site that seems to work better is ImgBB. See instructions below. This is the monthly thread for **October, 2025**. The topic this month is “ **Spooky** ”, chosen by [@ShadowFacts](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/shadowfacts). **Please post only your photo and, if you want, a title in this thread. Any other text belongs in the** [rolling discussion thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-monthly-photo-competition-rolling-discussion-thread/975642). Exception: discussion can commence in this thread after the poll has closed. The general rules for the competition are [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-monthly-photo-competition-rolling-discussion-thread/975642). **One entry per person per month** **.** To make the photos easier to review please only post just **once** to this thread, with your entry. Once the submission deadline has passed, I’ll put a voting poll **in this thread** **.** **Submission deadline: Sunday, October 26, 11:45 pm US EDT.** Good luck! **Instructions for using ImgBB on a PC:** 1. Open ImgBB site in new tab 2. Click on START UPLOADING 3. Select desired image from my files, click OPEN 4. Back to ImgBB site, click UPLOAD 5. Copy the URL 6.
