Spooky Sweet

Animated Halloween Letter: Personalized Digital E-Card with Pumpkin Carving and Trick or Treat

A personalized ecard and animated Halloween letter: they carve a pumpkin on a cozy porch, then go trick or treating, with your own words, delivered as a private link for any phone.

It is Halloween night, warm and never scary. String lights and a full moon over the porch, candles in jars, dry leaves drifting down. On the table sits a big uncarved pumpkin with a paper stencil taped to it, like a real carving kit. They trace round the stem to cut the lid, trace the lines to poke the pattern through, peel off the stencil and carve along the dots. The candle drops in, the lid goes back on and the face lights up. Then they turn the stencil over: its back is your letter, "For Leo", written onto the page in ink, line by line.

Then off they go, door to door. At the first two houses they knock, the door swings open and they take a sweet from the bowl into their pumpkin pail. At the last house nobody is home, only a bowl with a little sign. They reach in, a joke hand pops out and gives them the sweet anyway. At the end they tip out their haul on the steps and the pen writes Happy Halloween.

How it unfolds

1. Cut the lid and poke the stencil pattern through
2. Carve the face and drop in the candle
3. Turn the stencil over: your letter is on the back
4. Your words are written in ink, at a gentle reading pace
5. Knock on three doors for treats, with one little prank
6. Tip out the haul and read the last line

Playful, never spooky piano plays in the background (it can be muted with one tap).
