Description
"Freedom from startling noises and frightful specters" reads the accompanying verse, setting the tone for this cheerful shrouded ghost figure and black cat standing beneath a glowing full moon.

The sentiment emphasizes joy over genuine scares—a reflection of the holiday's evolution from darker folklore to family-friendly festivity.
