Hannah Marie is excited to go trick-or-treating with "the big kids" for the first time, but her cousin Jimmy tries to frighten her away.

Notes:
Story is told in comics format, with word balloons, but narration between panels is typeset. The balloons were lettered by Feikema using a font created by Thompson; effects and display lettering were hand-drawn by Thompson.
Bug-A-Boo is referred to as "Bugaboo" on the dustjacket, but he is known only as the Monster in the Basement in this story. He is first called by name in Scary Godmother: Bloody Valentine #1 (Feb. 1998), which has both spellings; Scary Godmother - The Revenge of Jimmy (Sept. 1998) firmly established the spelling "Bug-A-Boo".
The "aschcan" preview Scary Godmother and Friends #[nn] was available at conventions earlier in 1997 than this hardcover; while not widely distributed, it features the actual first appearance of Scary Godmother, Hannah Marie, and other characters.
