Edit: Forgot to say that this one was prompted by these two suggestions here, and also a little bit by Cedar's suggestion as I think it still fits the bill~

2nd: A group of trick or treaters being captured by witch and now being fatten up by her.

A trick or treater winds up at a house of a person who is very eager to give her some candy. Much more than even her stretchy body can handle.

Ooh, perhaps a pumpkin headed, scarecrow like avatar of Samhain awakens and runs amok, big fae monster mash!

Today's prompt is Halloween.....

This is a Pumpkin Hag, along with a Gourdo, also known as a Leshonky seen here , and a cursed doll. We've seen cursed dolls before here and these ones are in the advanced animate state that allows them to walk around and commit atrocities....

Pumpkin  Hags, sometimes known as Gourd Hags, are like all hags, and derive from  gourd witches that have grown old and allowed the malice of the world  to corrupt them too deeply, causing them to transform into something  hideous.

Pumpkin Hags are large, hunched  old women with huge pumpkins or gourds for a head. One gets a whiff of  pumpkin spice and pumpkin innards from the hag from time to time,  however there is always the underlying scent of rot and decay somewhere  in there, and upon closer inspection they're usually dripping with gore,  viscera, and pumpkin pulp. They are known for baking delicious treats  from pumpkin, pumpkin spice rolls, pumpkin pie, salted or sugared  pumpkin seeds... they make pumpkin ice cream and all sorts of delicious  goods. They lure people in, in the same way as hags of consumption, and  they often times work together because of this (Or occasionally wage war  against one another for filling the same niche in an area). They lure  people in with baked goods while disguised as a kindly old woman, and  then they get the unwitting person addicted to their sweet foods so they  can fatten them up and boil them to eat, or grind them up and spread  them over their gardens of sin.

They can  manipulate pumpkins, causing them to stand up from the ground with  vines, or open mouths with jagged teeth and have the little pumpkins  attack their foes, or she can simply cause their vines to grow around a  creature and enwreath them, or a pumpkin to grow massive in size. She  can also control jack o' lanterns and cause them to spout flames, fly  around, or even simply use them to watch people through their eyes. She  can grow gigantic pumpkins from pumpkin seeds in an instant, and even  worse, she can grow whole pumpkins from anything containing pumpkn at  all, and so if you eat a slice of her pumpkin pie, she could grow an  entire pumpkin patch inside of you in an instant and let the gourds  burst free from inside of you. Many hungry children and beggars find a  pumpkin hag's home following the scent of a pie on the doorstep, only to  take a bite and be filled to bursting with pumpkins, becoming a new  part of the garden in an instant as the hungry gourds eat your flesh and  feast on your soul to nourish themselves. They can also use pumpkin  seeds to mind control creatures, causing roots to grow from the seeds  and dig into a creature, planting itself inside of them and growing,  allowing her to manipulate you into doing her bidding.

Gourd  hags, as with other fruit or vegetable hags, tend to keep gardens of  sin, in which they feed blood, flesh, innocence, and souls. They  cultivate these gardens with corpses, performing a ritual that instills a  bloodthirstyness into the very soil, and then burying a dead child or  baby in the garden to feed them. The vegetables that grow from this have  wrinkled and contorted faces, though they are often the most delicious  you've ever tasted. The spirits occasionally call out from the garden,  and they are often times full of ghosts or whispering plants asking for  help. The hag sometimes simply kills a person or child to feed the  garden, but that will satiate it for only a short time, and if the  garden is not fed, the gourds and plants may uproot and go in search of  blood, starting with the hag. And as such she lures in those that she  can through the delicious foods, stuffing them and feeding on their fear  of growing larger and larger, and their gluttony and lust for more  sweets, killing them at the last moment and allowing the garden to be  nourished for a great amount of time and for her veggies to flourish.

From  these gardens, she can cultivate souls, the souls of those she's slain.  She can either use them to spark life into other gourds, to allow them  to arise as Leshonky that do the witch's bidding, and take on twisted  wrinkled faces of the children she's killed, or she uses them to create  sinful foods that addict or transform those who eat them, create cursed  dolls similar to the leshonky, or even use these souls to extract  Genesium from creatures, which are crystalline heart fragments of living  creatures emotion. They extract fear and sin from these targets to bake  into their pumpkin dishes and feed their garden to grow stronger,  eating the pumpkin dishes themselves. On occasion they will take several  pumpkin witches under their wing and teach them the art of magic while  also subjecting the little witches to their own spells with only the  most willful pumpkin witches surviving the process.

Like  all Hags, they are often found in the dreamlands, where they lure  people in, or give them prophetic dreams to lure them in, or even  manipulate friends and family, something made easier if they've consumed  her foods in the past. They are also able to find their way to the  Underside as it is full of lost children looking for meaning and escape.

It  seems these two trick or treaters are in for a bad time with this  pumpkin hag... She's probably pleasantly surprised at how much Victoria  is able to handle... though the other little girl won't be as durable...  nor as lucky.

The cursed doll she has  isn't too different than anything I've explained before, simply a creepy  cursed doll with a pair of scissors. Most cursed dolls aren't this  large though, but it shows that stuffed animals and dollies of all sizes  can be granted awful life and made to be violent.

The  Gourdo or Leshonky down there is also no different than what I've  described before, being a creepy little pumpkin guy with a weapon. They  may have a bit more personality than the average one as they are filled  with souls of tortured children, and so their childlike nature most  likely shines through...

On Halloween they  celebrate, and join with the creatures known as Night Wanderers to  capture greedy little children to bring back to their home, and are often times followers of Samhain.
