halloween gets worse for me every years but, hey, great giveaway puzzle. No idea what to do though
Comment has been collapsed.
well up until now it's been an impossible puzzle...sigh...I hope I fixed it or I may just have to give up the puzzling business :P

Thought I had it, even considering the mix up with 7 and 8 and the sneaky thing, I see it, but got nothing. Ah well. Good luck to those who get past this!

It must be discouraging that it didn't work out, but thanks for the puzzle and GAs regardless. I still learned a fair bit about Halloween from the ITH questions.
I think
Initials lost,
their latter half.
should not have had a comma. That comma breaks it up into two phrases, reversing the meaning that would be there without the comma. (And "half" is not really apt, either.)
Comment has been collapsed.
you're right, that comma wasn't helping at all.
I annihilated the entire poem, replaced it with me babbling about messing up.
I hope with the change of colour scheme (and corrections to numbering, and lettering) the image alone works now.

I can't answer question 2
is there some `'´ in it?
Comment has been collapsed.
you refer to this question?
The word "Hallowe'en" means "hallowed evening" or "_ ____".
there are no "" or any other punctuation in the answer, just two words.

I used to think I am good at puzzles.
I now realise I am not.

Solved. Thank you for the puzzles and the giveaways!!

You awake in a dark room. Only flashes of lightning guide you as you feel your way in the dark.
Stumbling over your own feet, raising clouds of ancient dust with each trembling step, you bump into a lamp and try the cord. Dim light fills the room. As you blink the dark from your eyes you notice the dark red stains covering the wall in front of you. Praying it's not blood, despite the strong resemblance to dried blood, you slowly step back. Not mearly stains, as your eyes focus you see that a message has been writen:
Thee hath entered unto hallowed ground. Thy soul hangs in the balance. Shall thee risk it all for the prospect of laying hold upon treasure?
What madness have you awoken? How did you get here? Questions flood your brain while you take in the rest of your surroundings. There are no windows or doors visible, and the realization starts your heart pumping faster. A grouping of photographs festoons the west wall. A small notebook lies discarded below. Within it's pages a cramped and hurried script;
