They welcomed hundreds of kids and treated them to White House Hershey kisses, Halloween cookies, M&Ms, fruit bars, kettle corn and Bo and sunny baseball cards, People magazine reports. The President was particularly impressed by the Pope costume of one child and responded to him by saying "Top prize".

Watch Obama meeting the adorable young Pope:

The White House was decked up with various colour pumpkins, black twine spider webs and a huge toy spider which lingered on the side of the building. The carnival setting included a trapeze, jugglers and stilt-walkers and whirling ghost performers. The soundtracks that steamed during Halloween festivities included Thriller, Werewolves of London and the theme songs of Ghostbusters and The Exorcist.
