What is Spooky Hour about?

When the old tower bell clangs twelve times, the spooky hour begins. Out of the dark forest come a lively procession of witches, ghosts, skeletons, trolls and wizards. Counting down from eleven to one, the midnight creatures make their way towards a castle, where a gigantic pumpkin pie awaits them. With catchy rhymes, colourful pictures and a friendly rather than frightening cast of characters, this playful Halloween adventure turns a mysterious night into a cheerful monster celebration.
