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.

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.
