I got this craft at this site. It's a great resource for all kinds of crafts.
This is Doodlebug's version:
Velcro Boy's:
And The Professor's:
Then the little kids made paper plate jack-o-lanterns. I helped Doodlebug with his.

On the inside:
Graveyard Treat
Crust:
2 3/4 cups crushed Oreo cookies (I remove the cream first)
1/4 c sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
combine all ingredients in the bottom of a 13x9 pan (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray). Press firmly to bottom and refrigerate.
1st layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 oz Cool-Whip
1/4 c sugar
Beat sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in Cool-Whip. Spread over the crust.
2nd layer:
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
ice cubes
8 serving size package orange Jello
Stir boiling water into the Jello until dissolved. Mix cold water and ice cubes to make 1 1/2 cups. Stir into Jello. Gently pour onto cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until firm.
Spread 6 more oz Cool Whip on top. Sprinkle with more crushed Oreos. Decorate as desired. I usually use candy corn and the pumpkins. The original picture shows cookies decorated to look like headstones.
This is delicious and goes quite quickly.
Some decorations from years past:
I made this *years* ago.
The Professor and Velcro Boy made these last year:
Then they made tissue paper jack-o-lanterns.

Thanks to all who stuck with this post. I know it was long, but we had a lot of fun making all these things!
