Decades ago, one Halloween night, Windsor disappeared without a trace and ever since his cursed spirit is said to haunt the town each year on October 31 for one hour.Meanwhile Cook (“He’s All That”) plays Sue, who has recently remarried after her husband passed away.

When a Spirit Halloween store pops up in an abandoned strip mall, Sue’s teenage son Jake and his friends decide to spend the night there for a dare.

But they get more than they bargained for when an angry spirit posses the animatronic characters inside. “The kids embark on a thrilling and spooky adventure in order to survive the night and avoid becoming possessed themselves,” reads the synopsis.In the snaps, Lloyd, dressed in an old-fashioned coat and hat, is seen leaning against a black car while Cook is pictured looking worried while sat in a vehicle.
