The premise
Here’s the bit.
Kelly and Peter become stranded inside the Merryville Haunted Castle after the ride loses power. Its cheerful animatronic performers repeat their Halloween routine with increasingly threatening gestures, cigarettes and weapons. Peter keeps dismissing Kelly’s alarm even when a tombstone singles him out, while the repairman’s reassurance proves useless. A fourth brother appears behind the riders, the original trio drags Peter away, and Kelly’s reaction to the newcomer takes an unexpected turn.
