Based on the 2012 stop-motion animated movie. Middle school kid, Norman Babcock is considered the town weirdo because it seems that he's always talking to himself, when really, he's talking to something that no one else can see: GHOSTS! Including the ghost of his grandmother. He's the target of bullies, his parents don't understand him and his sister hates him. His eccentric great-uncle George dies and his ghost tells Norman that he's the town's only hope to stop a witch's curse, or else society will be under siege of the undead. Norman and his "friends" (older sister Courtney, fellow misfit Neil, Neil's older brother Mitch, school bully Alvin) must survive the night against zombies, confused grown-ups, and the ghost of the witch herself.
