Heat oven at 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray
and flour.
To prepare crust, combine 2 cups cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and margarine
in a small mixing bowl. Press firmly into prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes
and then chill.
To prepare filling, combine cream cheese and 1/2 cup Cool Whip in a mixing
bowl. In another mixing bowl, combine boiling water into gelatin until completely
dissolved. Mix cold water and ice cubes together to make 1 1/2 cups. Stir ice
water into gelatin until thickened. Remove any remaining ice cubes. Spoon gelatin
over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Spread remaining
Cool Whip over gelatin layer.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cookie crumbs. Decorate as a "graveyard"
by poking sandwich cookies on end into dessert. Decorate the cookies as tombstones
with the decorator icing. Scatter candy and pumpkins around the surface.
