COMEDY. After hiding out from humans for more than 100 years, several old-school monsters discover―to their horror―that modern humans don’t find them scary…at all. The monsters join S.C.R.E.A.M., a self-help group that meets in the graveyard and helps washed-up monsters adjust to modern society. To sharpen their scary skills, the monsters set out to study modern humans in order to find out what terrifies them. Vlad, a classic vampire, befriends Alex, a nerdy high school student who loves e-sports. Alex agrees to teach Vlad how to be terrifying if Vlad can show him how to stand up to bullies and ask a girl to the Halloween dance. At the dance, two overly dramatic theatre students host a horror movie pitch contest, where the monsters make their debut in front of a movie director. Screamingly funny!
