It's the day before Halloween, 1973, and young brat Ralph Snart is gearing up for the big day. He puts on his costume and scares his Father. His Father gets a monster costume and hides in Ralph's closet to teach Ralph a lesson. In the meantime, Ace Mudley, a notorious axe murderer from the 1950's suddenly awakens from his grave in the cemetary and is seeking an "axe murderers fix." After wandering around for a while, Ace finally finds an axe. Meanwhile, Ralph has discovered the monster (his Father) hiding in his closet, and beats him senseless with a baseball bat. Then another monster (Ace) breaks through the front door ready to lop off a few heads. Ralph proceeds to beat him with the bat also. Ace remains a little uppity, so Ralph gives him some "bonus clobbering" untill he is just a pile of bones. Ralph's beaten Father comes downstairs, and although Ralph is extremely proud of himself for clubbing two monsters in the same night, he finds himself grounded for Halloween.
