Spooky Buddies

Plot

In 1937, Sheriff Jim and others from the town of Fernfield set off to the manor of Warwick the warlock, who has kidnapped five puppies to sacrifice them to the Halloween Hound. One of the puppies, Pip, belongs to a young boy named Joseph. As the mob prepares to storm the manor, the hound turns Pip's siblings to stone, but Pip escapes. Warwick chases him and grabs him as the mob enters. When the hound tries to kill Pip, he fails as the sun starts to hurt his eyes. Warwick escapes just as dawn approaches. Pip then turns to stone and becomes a ghost. Joseph takes Pip's stone body, while his father takes Warwick's spellbook. The Sheriff takes Warwick's staff and announces to the townspeople that he will board up Warwick's house to prevent anything else from happening.

75 years later, the Buddies are on a school trip to Warwick's manor with their owners, Alice, Billy, Pete, Sam and Bartleby. When the class go to the graveyard to see Deputy Tracker's memorial stone, Billy finds himself scared of the gravedigger Mr. Johnson. He hears the legend which says that if someone says "Halloween Hound" three times in front of Warwick's mirror, it will summon Halloween Hound. B-Dawg, who is a "scaredy cat", tries to prove he's not scared by entering the condemned manor and saying "Halloween Hound" three times in front of the mirror. The ghostly Pip tries to warn the Buddies, but B-Dawg becomes terrified of him and accidentally completes the reciting.
