Combine pecans, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into bottom of 9- inch springform pan. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 10 minutes. Let cool.

For filling:
Soften gelatin in water; stir over low heat until dissolved.

Combine cream cheese and sugar; mix at medium speed until blended. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and pumpkin. Mix until blended.

When ready to serve, drizzle warm caramel topping over each slice and a dollop of the remaining whipped cream.

For a creepy decoration, draw a spider web using cake decorating gel and top with a plastic spider or two.
