I'm trying to dig up #FOSS, #CreativeCommons and #PublicDomain resources to share for #Halloween. Especially interested in resources that are friendly for all ages. I'll post some of my favorites on Halloween. Does anyone have their own favorites? If so, please share links.

(7/7) #pdcurses ( pdcurses.org ) brings the ease of use of the classic curses library to a wide variety of platforms. You can run pdcurses applications with X Windows, Wayland, Android or anywhere else SDL works with that backend. Use BSD #form and #menu libraries to add more GUI functionality.
