Halloween is a special night, full of mystery and mayhem. It is a time-honored tradition to share haunted legends and tales of horror. This is one of those stories…
A group of close friends and one tag-along-brother are out for a fun filled night of tricks and treats. As the sugar-filled impulses take hold, they wander farther and farther from home. Before long, they realize they have crossed over to Samhain Road, an infamous block where only those brave enough to venture have gone. As myth would have it, this was the residence the evil Old Lady Fargus, an immortal sorcerer witch with an immense power in wielding the dark arts. Her home is rumored to be filled with creatures and monsters of all sorts. So no one would ever dare to knock on her dreadful door. Yet despite their better judgment, the group tests fate and approaches the creepy home in one last attempt for those tasty chocolate treats. Before they can finish the words “Trick-or…” they are greeted by a gnarly gaggle of beasts and their lethal leader – Old. Lady. Fargus!!!
Held captive inside her wicked home, the kids find themselves surrounded by maddening monsters and a crew of zestless zombies and the methods to Fargus’s madness are revealed. Will the kids find their way out or succumb to the monster’s evil plans. Is there still a chance for a Happy Halloween. Come find out… if you dare!
ELLIE - Confident and assertive leader of her girl group. Popular and full of sass, she isn’t afraid to take charge and often comes across as bossy. Ellie is the glue that holds the group together, but her strong personality can sometimes be overbearing.
BETTY - Timid and easily frightened, Betty is the most cautious of the group. She is often scared of her own shadow, and her jumpiness adds a touch of humor and vulnerability to her character.
VERONICA - A gentle and kind-hearted girl who tends to follow the crowd. Veronica is the peacemaker of the group, always trying to keep harmony. Her sweetness and loyalty make her the emotional core of her friends.
CATHY - Bubbly and light-hearted, Cathy is known for her ditziness and her obsession with boys. Her innocence and naivety bring a lot of comedic relief to the group. She’s always daydreaming about her next crush.
TIMMY - Ellie’s pesky, yet amusing little brother. Timmy’s antics and the use of his dog puppet add a layer of humor and charm.
OLD LADY FARGUS - A malevolent and immortal witch with a sinister mission to transform the entire world into monsters.
VAMPIRE - A quirky and unconventional vampire who breaks all the monster stereotypes. More of a clown than a fiend, this goofball aspires to become a stand-up comedian, bringing a unique blend of humor and charm to the story with his comedic antics and vampire puns.
MEDUSA - Once a highly skilled and respected surgeon, Medusa's life took a dark turn, leaving her consumed by rage. Her once meticulous hands are now tools of vengeance, and her anger drives her every action.
HEADLESS HORSEMAN - Formerly a humble and hardworking apple farmer, the Headless Horseman now roams without a head. His transformation from a peaceful life to a haunting figure adds a tragic depth to his character.
MUMMY - Once a glamorous movie star, the Mummy is now a figure wrapped in layers of hate. Her former charm and allure are hidden beneath ancient bandages, and her bitterness towards her lost fame fuels her actions.
WEREWOLF - Previously a sophisticated and talented hair stylist, the Werewolf has become a wild, bushy beast. His transformation from elegance to ferocity highlights the stark contrast between his past and present selves.
IGOR - Formerly one half of a hot boy band duo, Igor's life has taken a monstrous turn. Now, all that remains of his past glory is a grotesque hump, overshadowing his once rockstar persona. His physical deformity stands in stark contrast to his previous fame.
FRANKENSTEIN - Once the other member of Igor’s hot boy band duo, Frankenstein's transformation has left him nearly unrecognizable. Now, with limited speech, all he can manage is a guttural “Ugh,” a haunting echo of his former charismatic self.
ZOMBIES (RAKE, SHOVEL, HOE, PICKAXE) - Dim, comical workers. Featured in the opening as the Trick or Treater ensemble.
