Halloween Riddles Competition

Guess what these Halloween characters are.

Congratulations to Irene A. of 6B who is the winner of this competition!

1.  I'm cute and round and orange and black, 
    Carve my face and you can call me Jack.

2. They call me "Legs," because I've got eight,
    A creepy arachnid people love to hate.

3. Guess who I am—I'll give you a clue,

    I float around and shout out, "Boo!"

4. White with black eyes; that’s how I’m best known,

    Without any skin, I’m just skull and bones.

5. I sleep upside down, then take off in flight,

    I fly out from my cave, but only at night!

6. You'll hear me miaow, you'll hear me purr,

    I have a long tail and shiny black fur.
