Victor the Vampire has assembled a strange group of dead and undead friends. Tonight they're going to someone else's halloween party. With Victor are:-
A poltergeist named Patti, a recent and reluctant member of the undead.
Winnie, a 17th century witch.
The rather slow Zoe, a zombie.
The improbably named Malcolm, an Ancient Egyptian mummy.

William the werewolf.
