Written by Robert Munsch · Illustrated by Michael Martchenko
A boy's terrifying face paint causes chaos and candy windfalls on Halloween night.
On Halloween, Lance ditches costumes for face paint, crafting a look so terrifying it leaves adults fainting and candy bowls empty. As he revels in his sweet success, a rival with a massive candy stash appears. But Lance's fearsome face prevails, sending the challenger fleeing and leaving Lance with a candy haul to last until next year. Will anyone dare to out-scare him next Halloween?
It’s Halloween, and Lance decides to paint his face to make it the scariest ever! He makes his face so scary that when the adults answer the door they fall over in fright! Lance, not being one to let an opportunity slip by, then takes all the candy in the house. After trick or treating, Lance heads home to find a teenager at his door with an even bigger bag of candy. He has a painted face, too – but Lance’s is still scarier, and the teenager runs off, leaving Lance with enough candy to last until next Halloween!
