PUZZLE #411: Wordy Web 5

PUZZLE #411

WORDY WEB 5

Happy Halloween, everyone! And to celebrate, I've brought out my spookiest puzzle format: Wordy Web! Its Final Answer is appropriate for today, too, so read on for directions on how to figure it out!

This Web's set up with Circles and Strands, but there are no letters with which the words are woven. To complete this puzzle, enter the answers to the Circles' clues (numbered 1 to 6) clockwise around the concentric rings of the Web, though it's up to you to determine the starting point for each Circle. All of the Circles' clues are presented in order. To help figure out the Circles' starting points, fill in the Strands' answers (marked with A to L) starting at each respective letter and traverse the Web from left to right. Some of the strands have only one answer, while others have two.

Once you've completely filled in the Web, the letters in the red spaces, reading down, will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: some people you might encounter today on Halloween
