Sunday is Halloween, so it's a Halloween special on Small World, only on Mushroom Escape

Boo! Oh did I scare you? I hope so, because it’s Jonathan Mosen here to tell you about our scary Halloween Small World special.

We’ll once again meet a witch who turns bananas into mice, policemen into apple trees, and eats children for breakfast with peanut butter.

We find out what it's like to be a witch's cat.

They say the gold mine is haunted, but is it really?

We meet Little Spook at Spook Hall, which is definitely haunted. Oh someone hold my hand!.

Sometimes the things we think are scary aren't so scary after all, which is good.
