On October 31st, the spookiest night of the year,
three friends went trick-or-treating without their parents for the very first time.
Will it be their last?
Trick or treat!
Oh what scary costumes! What are you supposed to be?
I’m a werewolf! Rawr!
I’m a mummy!
And I’m a witch!
I like your jack-o-lanterns,
and your fangs are so scary.
Is that a vampire costume?
Costume? Oh, yes!
Here’s some candy for all of you.
You’re not with your parents tonight?
Whatever you do, make sure you don’t go to the house on the hill.
It’s haunted!
We’re not scared!
Come on, let’s go check it out.
But the man said it’s haunted!
Are you afraid?
No!
He was.
So let’s go!
The three friends approached the house.
There was a cemetery in the front yard, with many ancient tombstones.
I don’t know, guys. This is pretty creepy!
Yeah. It looks cursed!
It’s just a fake graveyard.
With decorations this good, I bet they’ve got the best candy!
Trick or treat!
Hello?
They entered the house, and noticed that Sam was missing.
Where’s Sam?
Sam!
He was right behind us! Let’s look around.
Come on! That must be Sam.
Did you see that? That was a ghost!
Don’t panic. It was just special effects.
There’s no such thing as ghosts!
Come on. What’s in here?
No! Don’t go in there!
Mikey went through the door, and it slammed shut behind him.
Mikey found himself in the laboratory of a mad scientist, doing gruesome, macabre experiments.
You! Come here! I need an extra hand.
Umm. Sorry. Wrong room.
Mikey came back into the hallway and Zoe was missing.
He heard a bloodcurdling scream!
Where are you guys? Are you playing a prank? It’s not funny!
He turned and saw someone lurking in the shadows.
Excuse me? Have you seen my friends?
Excuse me?
A ZOMBIE!!
Terrified, he ran down the hallway, and the undead creature shuffled after him.
At the end of the hall, one door had a light coming from underneath it.
He screamed for help.
HELP ME!!
He swung open the door to find….
A party?
Mikey! Where have you been?
I was looking for you guys!
You’re missing a great party.
Look, they’ve even got a cauldron and broomsticks.
We have made so many friends!
See? I told you there was nothing to be scared of.
Mmm, that smells delicious. When will it be ready?
Very soon. We are only missing three more ingredients...
Actually… I think we should get out of here…. right now...
And so the three friends escaped the haunted house on the spookiest night of the year.
Will they go trick-or-treating alone next year? We will see…
