Visual Description

The bottom caption reads "Five of Bats." A tall, blindfolded figure stands on a small grassy mound clutching several paper bags decorated with jack-o'-lantern faces while five red bats fly across a dark sky. A yellow moon with a face looks down from the upper right, and to the left stand a small clown in polka-dotted costume and a thin, grey dog (or cat) observing the scene. At the figure's feet a small horned black creature crouches and additional pumpkin-faced bags lie scattered along the foreground.
