Middle schoolers Willa, Tim, Noah, and Steve form a club, The Fearsome Foursome, where they can share their love of gruesome stories. They're surprised when their club headquarters is destroyed in a storm and even more surprised when they find four invitations in the wreckage which lead them to a Gothic mansion across town. They meet a ghoulish librarian who rises to the challenge they give him of finding a story that can truly scare them. As he recounts a macabre story of the death of each of the club members, their confidence begins to wane.
Based on the Disney attraction, The Haunted Mansion, this series celebrates the ghosts who have entertained visitors to the Mansion for decades. A bit on the gruesome side but nothing beyond what a Goosebumps lover has already enjoyed.
