Fade in. We see an eerie, full moon-lit night. Bats fly across the sky as a mysterious fog rolls in over Springfield. The familiar theme music starts playing as we zoom in on the Simpson house. Inside, the family is getting ready for Halloween. Bart is dressed as a werewolf, Lisa as a mummy, and Maggie as a tiny adorable vampire. Homer is his usual lazy self, sprawled on the couch, while Marge, dressed as a scarecrow, is trying to get him in the spirit of the holiday. At top secret government facility, we see a group of scientists and military personnel. They've managed to capture some of the world's most dangerous monsters: Frankenstein, Count Dracula, Pumpkinhead, the Scarecrow, Werewolf, Mummy, Slappy the Dummy, Gill-man, and the Blob. They've decided to dump these creatures in the one place they're sure no one will ever find them: Springfield. The monsters are loaded onto heavily guarded transport vehicle and, on a foggy night in September, they're brought to the Springfield. Unbeknownst to the town, these creatures have taken over the town's highest positions, and Count Dracula is now the new Mayor. Halloween night arrives, now their plan begins. The monsters, led by Count Dracula, begin terrorizing the town. Killing our beloved citizens. The surviving townspeople form a resistance. The resistance manages to defeat the monsters.
