It's Halloween night in Montreal! Momo the VAMPIRE (whose plastic fangs keep falling off - CLACK!), Ines the PRINCESS (crown forever slipping over her eyes), Matthew the round PUMPKIN (so round he ROLLS instead of walking!), and brand-new friend Romeo the PIRATE CAPTAIN (whose giant tricorn slides down so he hugs a BROOM thinking it's Matthew!) head out trick-or-treating. Their buckets OVERFLOW with candy - "We're the KINGS of Halloween!"
But house after house, their buckets get... LIGHTER! Ghosts? Momo is SURE of it. But YOU see what they can't - behind every hedge, every pumpkin, every porch, Bob the raccoon is sneaking ONE candy at a time into his backpack, which puffs Bigger and BIGGER and ENORMOUS! The four friends never notice... and your child will be DESPERATE to shout "LOOK BEHIND YOU!"

THE ADVENTURE:
Halloween night! Momo the vampire - CLACK, the fangs fall again! Ines the princess, Matthew the rolling pumpkin (ROLL ROLL!) and pirate Romeo (hugging a broom!) set off. Buckets OVERFLOW - "We're the kings of Halloween!" Then... the candy starts VANISHING! "My bucket is LIGHTER!" CRUNCH! "What was that noise?" "What if it's a MONSTER?" Momo has the answer: "It's... GHOSTS!" Off to a cozy haunted yard - skeleton scare, inflatable spider, pumpkin bowling - STRIIIKE! But the buckets are nearly EMPTY and Matthew is near tears: "We don't have anything left." Then Momo spots a striped tail... "Wait. WAIT." BOB?! Caught red-pawed, flipped like a turtle - PLOUF! His ENORMOUS backpack spills a MOUNTAIN of candy - he robbed the WHOLE neighborhood! The lesson: there's enough for everyone - give it ALL back. Bob returns every piece, and the gang finally DEVOURS their share, cheeks stuffed with chocolate: "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
