Tom and Lucy Little are determined to scare their parents this Halloween. Exploring the Biggs' attic, they encounter a hairy spider, leading to a sticky web entanglement. After escaping, they find themselves trapped inside a jack-o-lantern in the Biggs' kitchen. Hours later, they return home to discover their parents truly frightened. Their success is bittersweet, as they vow never to attempt such a terrifying trick again. Will they keep their promise, or is another adventure just around the corner?
