Several pairs of eyes peer out from the darkness under a porch to watch as fearsome creatures trick-or-treat on Halloween. A mummy, skeleton, witches, a devil, and more walk by for the four pairs of eyes to watch in fear, in the end revealing themselves when the streets have finally run empty of ghouls and goblins.

Jan Brett’s illustrations in Scary, Scary Halloween are arguably the most detailed in this list. From the bark of the trees to the patch work clothing of Halloween Witches, the details are amazing. Plus it keeps the costumes scary and spooky, not funny and girly. No princesses, transformer robots, or bubble bees in this book, just the good ole traditional costumes. In contrast to the complex and detailed drawings, Eve Bunting’s Scary, Scary Halloween text is the simplest of the stories on the list, but it still captures the feeling of All Hallows Eve very well.
