Ever since the meteor landed, strange things have been sighted at Dr. Fred's old mansion.
Disembodied tentacles hopping around. Chainsaws in the kitchen. Plants with unusual appetites. And odd glow from the swimming pool.
And now, sweet Sandy the cheerleader is in Dr. Fred's clutches. So round up your pals, take a deep breath, and get ready for the weirdest, funniest adventure of your life.
