Visual Description

A solitary figure dressed in red and a scarf walks up a rocky incline carrying a staff topped with a small jack-o'-lantern, his back turned to the viewer. Several small ghostlike figures in yellow robes with simple round faces gather in the foreground and cling to the rocks while one ghost drifts in a pool of water. A large yellow moon with a face and a scattering of stars fills the night sky above. A black cat is silhouetted on a ledge to the right, and the landscape is rendered in warm orange and brown tones against the dark sky.
