Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The nefarious Warwick the Warlock has returned from his astral imprisonment, and plans to make the final sacrifice for ultimate power - all he needs is the soul of a pure heart. The Buddies, alongside their new spectral friend Pip, race against the clock to defeat the sorcerer, who has enlisted the Halloween Hound to do his dirty work under the cover of the neighborhood festivities.
