Jon Muth's picture book Zen Ghosts has some of the best Halloween-themed art that I've seen. The atmosphere he creates--the bright leaves, the fantastic use of lighting, and the mischievous kids and creatures--is very similar to the setting of Untitled Ghost Story. But don't be fooled, even though the story will be illustrated, and it will have children and teenagers as its main characters, UGS has a bit of an edge that I wouldn't recommend for the little kiddies.
That being said, enjoy the lively, spooky art of Zen Ghosts. Pick up the book from your local bookstore or library. The book is part of a series of books by Muth--all of which have great illustrations and interesting multicultural themes.
