Let's see what we have here:

sp00ky: Okay, I can just barely make out what's going on, and even then, this thing is just a mess.  While my bets are on Wen made this, it seems unlikely.
scary: Not sure who built this, but it's pretty meh overall.  Like the concept, but the execution isn't the best.
Skeletons: dem groucho marx glasses tho.  I don't even care if Thrack re-entered it again, it's... probably the best thing here in my opinion.
Send: I see Chris-san 090901 has been pretty busy.  Unfortunately, this seems very out of place here as it really isn't Halloween themed in the slightest.
Shivers: Good attempt, but with a messy execution and bland splash, it doesn't really work.  Mystic has probably built this, judging by the style.
Down your spine: Seems like a Mr. AS bot, and it's the most forced meme-bot, but damn it's a good one though.

May as well give my own feedback

sp00ky - Yeah, even I have no idea what this is.
scary - My personal favorite. The concept is actually unique and not a meme, and the pumpkin head is cool.
Skeletons - Honestly, I have nothing to say here except that I was given a pretty good argument for why it should be allowed.
send - Maybe not spooky per-se, but very unsettling nonetheless.
shivers - Kind of like the bot, but a good BOTM needs a good splash.
down your spine - Definitely used the hell out of the RA2CF rule of 7 break (which I applaud). Pretty awesome build, but I didn't get the meme at first.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

But it has "of doom" in the name.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

So if I understand it right from the splash.. #2 has the skull inside the pumpkin.. then the skull pops out of the pumpkin via piston?

If so thats some really cool attention to detail.. id imagine the pumpkin itself was challenging enough..

Props to whoever did it.

Why did you have to upload it on such a site and not imgur or something? Takes forever for me to load if it ever loads it that is.

#3 is a really well made splash.
#4 made me laugh really hard once I realized the mouth WAS the robot.
#6 is pretty dang cool as an artbot
#2 has my vote because of the really good robot design (which is what I primarily look for) and the splash is still decent.

On that day it didn't load for me, now loads fine however, dunno what was up(was wondering if it was one of those websites that's only really accessable from the US and has terribly slow speeds outside of it)

1. I don't really get the bot, just looks like some drums and spinners put together, also blends too much with the splash
2. the title sums it up well, great concept but sadly doesn't look as great as it could, I can imagine that the creator spent some time into it, trying to get it great but in the end couldn't and decided to enter it, has some nice references in it and it looks like he tried to get a good splash done.
3. If it wasn't for this entry, I wouldn't question if 2 was Thrack(nice mix of Mr Bones+thatVS), wouldn't mind if it was BOTM again.
4. Wait what?! I hope this is a mouth.
5. Looks like a interesting bot but sadly the splash isn't that great and the bot could also need some color/other visual effects.
6. I know the meme and it's really nice, however it's only that, nothing more to the bot and the splash definitely could've had more, or at least not be blurry like that. Also didn't know that colored extenders were allowed(2 used the plastic extenders, very clever builder idea)

So if I understand it right from the splash.. #2 has the skull inside the pumpkin.. then the skull pops out of the pumpkin via piston?

If so thats some really cool attention to detail.. id imagine the pumpkin itself was challenging enough..

Props to whoever did it.
As far as I understand(based on the insides description) it's a burst piston that pops up like that, Retooled sadly only has bursts no linear actuators or servo pistons.

Think it's between two and three.

Well...
This was definitely surprising.
After seeing surprisingly positive feedback(some questioning the bot, while others the Arial font) I thought this would be a race between Grim Harvester, Not Mr Bones and the Skeleton Hoverbot(doesn't have a name?) meme.

Thoughts:
Building:
Splash:
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, thought about releasing it before, so here it is(in the custom section since Retooled doesn't have one yet)
https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Exchange/Custom/R01_R01_BotM_Oct_2016_Grim_Harvester.zip
Feel free to use it, but I'd like if you mention my name as creator of the original.
