In a spooky, rhyming adventure, a team of monsters, led by foreman Frankenstein, races against time to build a haunted house for a vampire family. With werewolf loggers, mummies, and a skeleton crew, they must complete the project before sunrise. Can this motley crew work together to beat the clock, or will daylight thwart their efforts? Dive into this eerie tale to find out if they succeed in their monstrous mission.
