Stir boiling water into Jello in bowl for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Mix cold water and ice cubes together to make 1-1/2 cups. Stir ice water into Jello until thickened. Remove any remaining ice. Spoon Jello over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.
Spread remaining Cool Whip over Jello layer. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
Decorate as a "graveyard" by poking sandwich cookies on end into the dessert. Decorate the cookies as tombstones with the decorator icing. Scatter candy corn and pumpkins around on the surface.
