Ch.2 The T.P.ing of Andrea's House:A.J. 和 Ryan 各自骗父母去对方家,实际一起摸到 Andrea 家;Michael 因为扯掉妹妹娃娃的胳膊被禁足。两人忘了先把卫生纸抖开就扔,结果纸卷根本没散开,一卷弹到墙上,一卷卡在树上。Andrea 家的灯亮了,两人吓得一路跑回家。
Ch.3 Three Zombies:万圣节当天,Mrs. Patty 打扮成女巫,还邀请大家去她家 176 Norman Road 要糖。三个男孩都扮成头上插斧头的僵尸,A.J. 是"太空僵尸企鹅"。Andrea 拿出他掉在自家院子的卫生纸拆穿他,A.J. 编出"class class"搪塞,还捉弄 Emily 说出 underwear。

Ch.6 Giant Bananas and Two-headed Astronauts:这是三人第一次没有大人陪同去要糖,Michael 画了路线图追求"糖果最大化",把 Mrs. Patty 家留到最后。他们遇到校医 Mrs. Cooney,她只发苹果、胡萝卜和坚果。三人约定谁被怪物砍了糖就归其他人,正说着一个毛茸茸的怪物突然跳了出来。
Ch.7 The Halloween Monster:跳出来的"怪物"其实是邻居 Billy,他扮成只穿内裤的"underwearwolf"(内衣狼人)。Billy 警告他们 Mrs. Patty 家闹鬼:她是女巫,毒死并砍掉了丈夫 Marvin 的头,把头放在地下室的桶里。A.J. 开始怀疑万圣节到底是不是自己最爱的节日。
Ch.8 The Most Horrible Creature That Ever Walked the Earth:A.J. 想回家,但 Michael 和 Ryan 坚持要去拿糖,还说不去可能更危险。半路遇到 Andrea 和 Emily,五个人一起走反而更安心。Mrs. Patty 家像座恐怖的大宅,装饰满是墓碑、南瓜灯和烟雾;大门突然自己吱呀打开,一个男人的声音说"进来吧……如果你敢"。
Ch.9 Mrs Patty's Weird House:孩子们壮着胆子进门,A.J. 踩进南瓜头、撞上蜘蛛网。Mrs. Patty 说给糖前必须答对一道数学题,Andrea 立刻答出 22 块。她让大家下地下室拿糖,众人在昏暗的走廊里迷路,最后找到一扇写着"Candy in Here"的门,A.J. 转动了门把手。
Ch.10 Marvin the Headless Mummy:门后房间里坐满了同学,一个抱着自己脑袋的无头木乃伊从大箱子里爬出来,逼所有孩子把糖倒进箱子。扮成路易十四的 Mr. Klutz 挺剑而出,与"万圣节怪物"决斗并打掉了他的剑,把他赶跑。Mrs. Patty 提议开糖果派对,孩子们尽情吃糖,A.J. 说这是他人生中最棒的一晚。
