The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About Halloween!

Say, shall I wear my white hat with red stripes,

or my red hat with white?

How I love dressing up for Halloween night.

Let's take a spook-tacular ride.

Big fun's where it's at.

Get ready to trick or treat with the Cat in the Hat.

He's coming!

Yoo-hoo!

Whoa!

Woo-hoo!

Halloween.

Hey, Sally, check out this spooky spider I made.

Ooh, scary, Nick.

Say hello to Mr. Bones.

I made him out of pasta pieces.

Let's stick them on our haunted Halloween wall.

Move over, Mrs. Cat.

Hope you don't mind spiders, Mr. Bones.

Our decorations look great, Nick.

But there's still one big question.

What are we going to dress up as for Halloween?

Whatever it is, nothing too scary.

Did someone say "scary?"

Who said that?

It came from inside

the dress-up trunk. Who's in there?

Sally, go open it and see.

Uh, no. It's on your side of the tree house, Nick.

Okay. Let's look...

Together.

Oh.

Okay, Sally.

On one, two...

Three!

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat.

Whoo, you sure gave us a fright.

I love a good fright,

from things that are scary and go bump in the night.

That's why I love Halloween.

With its howlers and shockers and scary fandangles.

Startlers and frighteners and fun from all angles.

Some fright are fun,

because they're pretend.

But real frights are scary, like bumps in the night.

And things that go boom.

I'm frightened by only one thing:

not having fun, fun, fun.

Right now, we really need to choose our Halloween costumes.

Because Halloween's tonight,

and we have to decide.

Hmm, it's a big decision.

I know. We can wear the same costumes as last year.

You mean these?

Oh, dear.

Ew!

Lucky for you, I happen to know a lot about Halloween costumes.

You do? I do, I do.

The very best costumes can be found in only one place.

The ooky-makooky closet.

Ookie-ma-who-gie?

The ooky-makooky closet has the most splendiferous

dress-up collection ever.

From extra...

large!

To extra small.

The closet has costumes to fit one and all.

Whoa!

The ooky-makooky closet sounds great.

Do you really think we'll find the perfect costumes there?

It's where I found my new Halloween hat.

Oh, Cat. Now, let's go find

the perfect fit for you two.

Your mother will not mind at all if you do.

Mom! Mom!

Is it okay for us to go with the Cat in the Hat

to choose a Halloween costume from the ooky-makooky closet?

Just be home in time for trick-or-treating.

We can go! We can go!

I know, I know!

To the Thingamajigger.

Happy Halloween.

Are you ready to go trick-or-treating?

Not yet, Fish. But we will be,

as soon as we visit the ooky-makooky closet

to choose costumes to dress up in.

Fish do not dress up.

Well, I'm going to be something big and strong.

And I'm going to be something silly and fun.

How about you, Cat?

What will you be?

I can tell you,

but then it wouldn't be a surprise.

Anyplace called ooky-makooky

sounds like a place I'd rather forget.

Where is this kooky closet, anyway?

Cat? Cat?

I know it's someplace Halloweeny.

I'm sure if we take a fun-tastical flight,

we'll find it sooner or later.

Buckle up!

Flick the jigger-mawizzer.

Isn't this fun?

Yahoo!

I can't wait to find the ooky-makooky closet.

So we can dress up for Halloween.

I hope not as anything too scary.

Just the thought makes me shiver.

Don't worry, Fish.

Besides, costumes aren't real.

They're just scary, good fun.

Aren't you frightened of anything, Cat?

Huh? Who? What, me?

Nothing frightens the Cat in the Hat.

Not even on Halloween, the spookiest day of the year?

Especially on Halloween.

I love all things Halloweeny.

It's the one day of the year when all frights are fun.

Eek! Aah!

Ooh. Ooh.

Eek! Aah!

Ooh. Beware.

Shockers and scares are everywhere.

Mmm. Mmm.

Eek! Aah!

Whoa! Beware!

Eek! Boo! Aah! Ooh!

Boo!

You really do love all things Halloweeny.

I do, I do. Wahoo!

Everyone's frightened of something,

and there's nothing wrong with that.

I'll find out what frightens the Cat in the Hat.

No. No.

Hmm. Ah-ha!

Oh, Cat...

need a hand flying the Thingamajigger?

Why, I could use a helping hand right now.

Okay.

Oh! Oh!

Ooh, ah, not that hits the spot.

Oh!

Fish, your fake hand trick sure gave us a fright.

It wasn't you I was trying to scare.

Wow, check out those fantastic fall colours.

They're so Halloweeny.

Halloweeny enough to find the ooky-makooky closet there?

Let's go, go, go, go.

Whee!

Yahoo!

Whoa! Whoa!

Who doesn't love roller coasters?

Me.

That was awesome! That was awesome!

Welcome to the spooky-makookie forest.

I remember the ooky-makooky closet

was down a dark and twisty path.

It must be this way.

Down there?

We can always hold hands, Sally, if it makes you feel better.

Ah, holding hands is a great way to feel safe.

Fish?

Uh, no thanks, Cat.

I have some things to do.
