Google defines specter: "something widely feared as a possible unpleasant or dangerous occurrence. Synonyms: threat, menace, shadow, cloud"
Not just for Halloween, vocabulary.com offers this spooky definition: "A specter means a ghostly apparition, a ghost itself, or simply an idea that people find frightening."

Here's wishing you Happy Holidays, and a little healthy fast food!
