BURRILLVILLE – It’s Halloween week everyone! It’s time for all of the little ghosts, ghouls, goblins, witches, vampires, werewolves and scary monsters to head out for some fun and exciting Trick-or-Treating across the region on Halloween night this coming Friday, Oct. 31.
Kids should always wear reflective costumes, carry small flashlights and pay attention to their immediate surroundings. Kids should always watch for vehicles before crossing streets and roadways. Kids should always buddy up and never go out alone without a friend, family members or adult supervision. It’s never safe to just run around on this very busy night with vehicles and pedestrians everywhere you go. Walk. Never run. Adults should check treats before children consume them and make sure kids eat their candy in moderation.
The Itty Bitty Super Dupers cartoon characters have been a Halloween favorite with kids and families since the release of their very first publication on Halloween night in 2009. The Itty Bitty Super Dupers vs Scary Monsters coloromic book was a big success nationwide generating rave reviews in comic book magazines and guides by critics. A nine-minute Itty Bitty Super Dupers vs Scary Monsters YouTube Audio and Video Book was released shortly afterwards, produced by Pineapple Studios, and is available for viewing online. Yours truly created all of the cartoons, dialogue and script for this popular video.
Please be safe this Halloween and have fun. No tricks. Just treats.
