From 1982 comes the greatest halloween story ever produced by comics.
"ALL HALLOWS" was written by Bruce Jones and had beautiful artwork by Tim Conrad, and was one of 4 stories featured in Pacific Comics' first enjoyable endeavor into the horror anthology market, TWISTED TALES #1 (ala the old EC horror comics).
The story starts out innocently enough, evoking childhood memories of trick or treating in the autumn moonlight, and slowly developes into something much more sinister and dark.
Enjoy.
