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.

Two Weeks Notice

1 hr 41 mins
Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.
