When little Norman attends Duncan’s 11th birthday, he participates in a seemingly innocent game of Hit the Piñata.. But when his bat rips clear though the piñata and connects with the face of the spoiled birthday boy, he is surprised to find that candy, not blood, is spilling from the boys open wound.. Much to the dismay of the unsuspecting party guests, this new discovery fills Norman with delight, for he is very very hungry.
