Happy Hauntings costume store threw their annual Halloween party, complete with food, dancing, and a little friendly competition. The company arranged 5 competitions (bobbing for apples, ring toss, scavenger hunt, pumpkin carving, and a scariest costume contest), with 5 different prizes (movie premier tickets, theater tickets, 4 passes to a local amusement park, and 2 gift certificates to a local restaurant). Each competition was won by a different employee, wearing a different costume purchased from the Happy Hauntings store. Can you determine the full name of each employee, what costume they wore, what contest they won, and which prize they received?
1) Belinda did not bob for apples, but she did win a gift certificate, which she shared with the man who won the tickets to the theater.
2) The 5 employees were: Amy, Mr. Brown, the one who dressed as a bat, the one who won the theater tickets, and the woman who won the pumpkin carving contest (who did not win movie tickets).
3) Robert, John, and Mary have the same last initial.
4) The women's costumes were: the one worn by Ms. Smith, the one worn by the woman who won the ring toss, and the skeleton.
5) During dinner, John sat at the same table as Frankenstein, the skeleton, and the woman who won the apple bobbing contest (who was not dressed as Dracula). The bat sat 2 tables over.
6) The man who won scariest costume received a $50 gift certificate, which he later used to take Ms. Black to dinner.
7) Later that week, John Beals went to dinner with the woman dressed as a bat, after they went to the theater, using the prizes they won at the party.

Excellent puzzle. We haven't had a new one since 11/05. Thanks for the fine work.

Must have warmed my brain cells up on your Dragon teaser. This one was easier, but still a lot of fun.
Really enjoyed it!
What great fun!
Great one, I loved it! Silly me, I somehow switched 3 of the costumes around...wonder how I managed that?

That was great. I can't figure out how Belinda's last name is Martinez? I didn't get the ghost either, but I can see now how you could. You can't see a ghost. Can anyone tell me how they figured out Martinez?
YAYY I GOT IT!
veryyy funn D
veryyy funn D
Fun and easy! a lil too easy i guess but then the fun made up for it!
Newbie here. Fun one! Messed up the first time, got it the 2nd. Stumbled on #7 as "theatre" is singular and "prizes" is plural. Merged the 2 meanings, and I was golden.
How did Belinda get the last name Martinez?
Also, how was Amy Smith a ghost?
Easy until I got to the final prizes. I overlooked the movie ticket exclusion hint so many times Fun puzzle!
Fun puzzle - had to do it several times before I got it
