Scary Beard of Halloween. The Final Crypt Kicker round. Morgan McSweeney v JD Vance
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, which campaigns against irrational prejudice against the hirsute, has said that the poll for the Scary Beard of Halloween 2025 has reached the Crypt Kicker Finl.
The title, awarded each year on October 31st, takes a wry look at Halloween festivities by identifying the scariest beard in the public eye. The winner is likely to win by the narrowest crack of a squeaky floorboard.
After two Spooky Rounds of voting four scary beards are in the Crypt Kicker final vote
The BLF does not generally believe that beards are scary a view promoted by generations of beard haters or Pogonophobes.
It is accepted though that on a dark moonless night as a beard looms through the gloom, nerves may rise a little as to what lies behind the beard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said of course none of the beards on the shortlist is genuinely scary. But come Halloween things can look a little different…
