Synopsis[]
Brother and Sister Bear are excited for Halloween, as it's the first year they're going trick-or-treating without adult supervision and are accompanying Cousin Freddy, Lizzy Bruin and Queenie McBear so they're not alone. But they're also reluctant to stop by old Miz McGrizz's house on Crooked Lane, as they heard rumors she's a nasty old witch, but Mama assures them that's not the case. Indeed, when the cubs go trick-or-treating and are directed to Crooked Lane by Too-Tall and his gang, they learn Miz McGrizz is actually a nice old lady with candied apples for the trick-or-treaters, thus proving Mama's lesson that "appearances can be deceiving".
