==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
Adults are involved and aware of what's going on in kids' lives, and they help guide their behavior and learning process. The story follows three spooky encounters -- a mysterious presence in '''Arthur's tree house''', a strange woman and her haunting tale, and a house with mysteries of its own.
"This Halloween is sure to be the spookiest ever for Arthur and his friends. While trick-or-treating, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] meets an elderly woman with a very mysterious past, while Binky finds himself at Mr. Ratburn’s amazing haunted house (that’s scarier than math class!). And as for Arthur, Buster and Ladonna? Their tree house sleepover seems to be haunted...but by what?"
