Inside, they discover a creature from their grandfather's stories, a terrifying being with gnarled, claw-like hands and glowing red eyes. As they try to escape the creature and the haunted house, they are aided by a group of animals - an owl, a rabbit, and a fox - who have been sent by the forest spirits to help them. Together, they must outwit the creature and find a way to safety before it's too late.
