rhuFor a change, I've been able to work on an issue of PandA magazine the week it comes out. My status behind the cut, in case it's spoilery.
Solved to date: Tricks, Treats, Creepy Crawlers, Graveyard Robbers, Bobbing for Apples, Parental Guidance, Costume Shop.
For Creepy Crawlers, I think I got the right final answer from the extracted letters, but I don't have complete confidence in my answer. I'm encouraged because I think it fits into the meta.
Graveyard Robbers -- I'm lacking 1A, but I can extract an answer anyway. The answer I get, though, doesn't seem to relate to the puzzle theme and doesn't fit the way I think the meta works. I also don't like the way I extracted the second letter of the answer, it seemed to work in the opposite direction from the others.
Apples -- There are two possible answers, but only one fits the way I think the meta works. On the other hand, I have a few other answers that don't fit the way I think the meta works.
Costume Shop -- I have an answer that seems unassailable, but again I don't see how it relates to the puzzle's theme and I can't fit it into the way I think the meta works.
Scream -- I have 12 answers (lacking the last in the list) and some ideas on how to map a couple of them to the rest of the page, but am mostly stumped on the mapping. Certain capital letter fragments recur, but I don't see how to use that yet. Given the style of the puzzle, I'm expecting something phonetic.
Who are you -- I have who's who and years. Tried using the years as an ordering mechanism and as an indexing mechanism into the names, to no avail. Stumped for now.
