A spooky Halloween scene at dusk, with a wooden wagon carrying three children approaching a haunted house. The house is lit with glowing windows, and a costumed figure stands on the porch holding a lantern. Jack-o'-lanterns are scattered around the yard, and bats fly in the orange sky under a large full moon.
