Finished Knot

Unlike the above diagrams, which are somewhat "open" to show what goes where, the actual knot should be tightly coiled so that it holds together firmly.

Untying the Halloween Knot:
To untie, pull on the non-coiled (blue) end until the loop is pulled all the way through the coil. The noose will then unravel and the whole lot will simply fall apart.

Rather than combining the two ends into the one noose, it's also possible to make each end into a separate noose. Besides looking interesting, each noose can be slipped tight or loosened individually, which is very quick (though not very secure).

Untying the Twin Halloween Knots:
These are even easier to untie than the regular Halloween Knot - simply pull the coiled section upwards until the noose pulls back through itself and falls apart.
