Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.
Prepare a 9 x 13 x 2" 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, remaining sugar, 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
"grave yard" by poking sandwich cookies on end into dessert.
Decorate the cookies as tomb-stones with the decorator icing.
Scatter candy and pumpkins around the surface.
