What a fun fill, and a very doable Friday to boost my confidence in my new years resolution to get through more full weeks of puzzles! Enjoyed the reference to Robbie Burns, especially approaching Burns Night. Thanks to the constructor for a delightful morning coffee solve.

All work and no crossword play makes me a dull girl! As a lover of both classic horror and Halloween, this puzzle was a lot of fun. Particularly enjoyed all of the Ws together in the SW corner! Twee and Wow Me is too cute.

New homeowner here - I was so ready for 42A to be Builders Grade; maybe a sign I need a break from ruminating on house renovations eh! Some other alts: Prison Break: C = FREE PASS Voice: F = UTTER FAILURE Tea Time: B = STEEP GRADE

A fun Hallo-week theme, and a welcome break from what, for me, has recently felt like some harder early week solves!
