Geraldine Porter and her granddaughter, Maddie, set out to create a multi-story haunted dollhouse complete with witches, ghosts, and ghouls. Geraldine wanted a scream-free holiday, but Maddie has a thirst for Halloween thrills. Fun turns to fear when what seemed to be a neighborhood scarecrow turns out to be a bloody corpse. Geraldine hopes to keep her distance from the death, but gets roped in when the dead body has ties to her late husband.
