Newlyweds purchase an old house in an odd Massachusetts community to open a bed and breakfast. They are now out of money and that's the least of their worries! Hidden below is something from Puritan days: a menacing scarecrow man named Endecott. Over the years he has frighten away all comers but the Putnams refuse to budge. Halloween night is their open house and Endecott has set the deadline for their expulsion at midnight! Neighbors and guests turn out to be a loony bunch and a dangerous killer escaped from the nearby correctional institution passes himself off as a "rent a guest." This tongue in cheek farce really takes off with mistaken identities, loopy dialogue, slamming doors, outrageous humor and madcap action. Does flesh or straw win the battle? This is a spoof for all seasons and a natural for Halloween.
