Gideon Hackles (Barnard Hughes), a rich and spiteful old man who holds an obsession for documenting and exploiting debts owed to him, annually offers trick-or-treaters the chance to search his house on Halloween night for their parents' IOUs, only to terrify them with animatronic "ghosts". Over the course of the night, Mr. Hackles finds himself terrified by a witch, genuine monsters, and demons.
Guest-starring Max Wright, written by George A. Romero, directed by Bob Balaban.
