Grandpa Axlerod is the stuffed basset hound in the upper right, wearing a teddy bear mask. Small teddy bear and black cat are on either side of the ghost in the middle, wearing football helmets.
Bobby heard whispering, as Jimmy shoved him into the dark, haunted house. Down the long hallway was a row of carefully placed Reeses' Pieces. In the kitchen was a skillet glowing red-hot.
His steps made the floor creak, before he leaned down to eat the candy. His foot tripped thread crossing the hall, and two boots danced.
Out of one boot, a small stuffed cat popped out, and asked, "Ghost?"
Bobby ran, before the small teddy bear popped out of the other shoe and shrugged.
"Grandpa Ax, is the popcorn ready?"
"Not yet. Skillet got too hot!"
