Herbie and the Spirits!
"Maybe it wouldn't have happened if Herbie hadn't changed his school!"
Storyline
Herbie is the new kid in school. He proves his bravery by going to a haunted house. Supernatural beings (a witch, a ghost, a creep, and Frankenstein) cause havoc, but prove to be no match for Herbie, his lollipops, or his magic.

Story Notes
Herbie looks and talks differently in this pre-Herbie series story. In this story, Herbie's pants are brown; in all other original stories, they were blue. The being called Frankenstein is really Frankenstein's Monster, but is called Frankenstein throughout the Herbie stories.
