Bookroo's summary

On a chilling Halloween night, the Monroe house is alive with eerie sounds and mysterious happenings. Harold the dog, Chester the cat, and Howie the dachshund face their fears as a witch invades the kitchen, concocting a sinister brew. With Bunnicula's eyes glowing ominously, the pets must unravel the mystery: Is the vampire bunny involved, and will they become part of the witch's potion? As the night unfolds, courage and friendship are their only allies in this spine-tingling adventure.

From the publisher

It’s Halloween night and many spooky things are happening at the Monroe house. The wind is howling. The walls are creaking. Bunnicula’s eyes are gleaming red. But worst of all, there is a witch in the kitchen! Harold the dog, Chester the cat, and Howie the dachshund puppy are all scared silly. Are they doomed to be part of a witch’s brew? And does Bunnicula have anything to do with the strange goings-on?
