The stories

“The Best Boo Contest”

At the Spookville Fair, Spooky wins a turkey in a contest for giving out with the best boo... but he boos a bit too "best-y" for his own good.

“Substitute Spooky”

In order to please Poil, Spooky has ghost inventor Professor Hauntly build him a look-alike robot that will be kind, helpful, and not be scary, while Spooky himself goes on scaring to his ghostly-heart's content. Thinking that Spooky has gone soft, The Ghostly Trio foul up the good robot inadvertently turning him into a super-scarer.

“What Goes Around, Comes Around!”

Spooky boos a series of lined-up objects which, as each one falls into the next one in sequence, ends with one coming around to whack him on the head.

“Thieves Think Big!”

Spooky protects his home from two daring ghost thieves but underestimates them.
