Everyone knows that on Halloween trick-or-treaters like to dress up as witches, skeletons, and other scary creatures. But what do bloodcurdling vampires, menacing mummies, and terrifying werewolves do for the holiday? What costumes will "they "wear? Children who dare can enter the haunted house and find out. Armed with 100 reusable stickers--jack o' lanterns, bags of candy, bats flying--they'll see the whole creepy crowd get ready for their party. And what youngsters will like best is the twist at the end: the monsters are all disguised as kittens and cute kids and other nice things. Now "that's" spooky!

When Ricky Reyes dares Jeffrey to get a bloody dagger out of the old McGyver house on Halloween night, Jeffrey is counting on Max, his ghostly friend, to help him.

A new year means new frights for party guests at the Peterson home… It’s New Year’s Eve, and for the three Peterson sisters, that means their family’s huge bash. Their house is the perfect place for a party—if you don’t mind the drive. That’s because the Petersons live way out at the edge of town, where there are no other houses for miles…except for the old one next door that’s been abandoned for as long as anyone can remember. The Peterson girls have seen strange things going on at that house over years, but they’ve always been able to dismiss them. Until now. This New Year’s Eve, the mysteries hidden in the house want to be discovered. And they won’t be ignored any longer… This haunting tale is rated a Level 4 on the Creep-o-Meter.
