When Good Ghouls Go Bad

The outcast boy Danny has just moved from Chicago to In Walker Falls with his divorced father James Walker that intends to reopen the chocolate factory that belonged to his father "Uncle" Fred Walker. James has called German investors to visit his town on the Halloween Day to show his Spooktacular plans and have resources to the factory. Danny hates the town since he is bullied at school by Ryan and his minion Leo. He has a crush on the girl Dayna, who is the daughter of the school nurse Taylor Morgan since they treat him well. Near to Halloween, Sheriff Ed Frady destroy the Halloween decoration at the Walker's garden. While going to school, Danny meets Ryan and Leo and they lock themselves inside the cemetery. Ryan discloses that people from Walker Falls do not celebrate Halloween because of a curse. Twenty years ago, the outcast student and artist of fine arts Curtis Danko is participating of a competition and does not show his statue that stays covered during the day and he works at school during the night. One the Halloween night, Ryan's father Mike Kankel, who is presently the coach and is running for major, sees Danko working at school. On the next morning, he finds the kiln turned on and Danko's skeleton and ashes inside, and a message telling that if the town celebrates any Halloween again, he would come back and destroy the residents. Mike have also stayed blind for three days after seeing his statue that is covered with a shroud and locked inside a crypt in the cemetery. Ryan wants to remove the statue from the crypt to receive money from the population, threatening them to remove the shroud. But on the next day, Uncle Fred dies when a mysterious pile of pumpkins fall on him at the park. However, magic happens and Uncle Fred returns like a zombie, and Curtis Danko and other dead also return looking for Danko's missing statue.
