Trick-or-Treat on Milton Street
Synopsis
Charley would rather face a graveyard full of ghouls than trick-or-treat on Milton Street with his goofy new stepfather. After he meets a witch, a mummy, a vampire, and lots of other creepy creatures, Charley will never look at Milton Street—or his stepfather—the same way again.
