THE PUMPKIN SMASHER

by Anita Benarde ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1972

Unremarkable but suitably spooky grey-black and orange pictures accompany the story of Halloween in Cranbury, where ""the whole town gets into the spirit of shivery fun."" When annual visits from a mysterious pumpkin smasher threaten to disrupt the festivities, the ""terrible Turner twins"" foil the culprit (a witch, the twins discover) and drive her away by painting a large rock to resemble a pumpkin. Though this is no smashing success as a Halloween hair-raiser, it will help satisfy that inevitable seasonal demand.
