In "Halloween," Jim Woodring crafts a quietly unsettling tale of unease and surrealism, following Frank as he ventures into the woods and stumbles upon a dream that blurs the line between reality and imagination. After receiving a mysterious invitation to a party for the dead at the House of Mystery, Frank’s return home reveals a strange, unsettling aftermath—only he knows what truly happened. With his signature dreamlike visuals and meticulous storytelling, Woodring delivers a haunting, offbeat experience that lingers long after the final page.
