Six stories by Robert Munsch.

Le soir de l''Halloween, Luca se peint un visage si terrifiant que les propriétaires des maisons qu''il visite s''évanouissent en l''apercevant. Il pénètre alors dans leur demeure et s''enfuit avec la réserve de bonbons et le contenu du réfrigérateur. Il croise un policier qui s''interroge sur son énorme sac, mais qui s''enfuit aussi en voyant son maquillage. De retour à la maison, Luca effraie également un adolescent qui effectuait le même manège que lui avant de profiter tranquillement de sa réserve de bonbons jusqu''à l''année suivante. Un récit dont l''humour est magnifiquement mis en images par les aquarelles de Martchenko, mais dans lequel le comportement (inadmissible dans notre société) demeuré impuni du jeune garçon laisse quelque peu perplexe.
