Three teenagers begin to suspect the dilapidated house across the street is alive and malevolent. The cranky old man who lives there guards it fiercely, and anything that goes onto its lawn disappears forever. On Halloween night, they decide to investigate, discovering the house is indeed a living, breathing monster with a tragic past. They must find a way to stop the hungry dwelling before it devours any more trick-or-treaters.
