Witches, monsters, ghosts, and ghouls have come from far and wide,
to have their hair made horrid and their faces uglified,
because tonight is HALLOWEEN (October thirty-first),
so all of them must do their best to look their very worst!

A rollicking, rhyming text that tells the story of the Ugly Salon owned by Uglymug, who must do his best to make everyone look their worst for Halloween. With his moldy make-up, grime and slime, putrid paste, aging cream, and mucky mousse galore, there are lots of icky delights in store for those children who love a bit of the yuck factor!
