On a dark and stormy night, Gidget is home alone and when strange things start to happen she suspects that her house may be haunted. Actually, her father, thinking Gidget would be at Larue’s house, told a friend of his he could spend the night. To add to the fun, the next door neighbor, fresh from a costume party and still dressed as the Wolfman, notices the lights on at the Lawrence place and goes over to investigate.
