Four costumed trick-or-treaters stand before a spooky haunted house on Halloween night
This whimsical spooky Halloween illustration features four children in costumes holding pumpkin candy buckets, paused at the open iron gate of an ivy-choked dilapidated Victorian haunted house. Dark purple cloudy night skies hang over the scene, with glowing jack-o-lanterns and warm lit suburban homes flanking the stone cobblestone path. The mood is playful and anticipatory, capturing the classic childhood thrill of trick-or-treating at a famously spooky neighborhood home.

I should have two doors, each with a knocker, so I could make the obvious "Huge knockers" joke.
