CHILDREN’S COMEDY. One dark and stormy night, the Myers receive an unexpected visit from their new neighbor, the Graves family, who live in a creepy house next to the cemetery. The Graves are looking for a cat sitter to watch their beloved feline, Count Catula, while they go on a family vacation to Transylvania. The Myers family agrees to watch Count Catula, but it becomes increasingly evident that Count Catula is no ordinary cat. A delightfully frightful comedy for children that is easy to stage and sure to please the living and undead alike! Perfect for Halloween.
