Illustrated by
Bill Basso.
When Henry visits Artie Doomsday's house on Halloween, he begins to wonder whether Artie's vampire sister and witch granny are playing dress-up or are for real, and he develops a hysterical case of the hiccups. Luckily, their monster riddle-off calms both his nerves and his hiccups before trick-or-treat time. Goofy illustrations filled with Halloween motifs and silly monster riddles add substance to this otherwise predictable offering.
