The band name and EP title appear in yellow in an illustrated font characteristic of horror punk. In the foreground of the illustration by Alan Forbes are a pumpkin-headed scarecrow and a hissing black cat standing on a grassy knoll. Behind them are a wooden fence and a dead tree with face-like forms hidden in its bark. Bats fly in the dark blue sky, and a few tombstones are visible on top of a more distant hill.
The back illustration shows the landscape to the left of the scarecrow, with additional hills, fences, tombstones, bats and dead trees, as well as jack-o'-lanterns and a small shack in front of a large moon. The track listing appears in the same illustrated typeface as the cover. The foreground jack-o'-lantern also appears in the liner notes (along with band photos), on the CD label and behind the CD tray. On the inside spine is the hidden message "Boo!"
All lyrics are written by Davey Havok; all music is composed by AFI, except where noted.
