New York professor Mike Lawford celebrates winning tenure by taking his kid son Charlie, who waited in vain to cut the Halloween pumpkin and had to do trick or treat with mother Kristen, to the Halloween fair. In a moment of distraction to pay the ice cream, the boy goes missing. SEven years of posting missing pictures and goading the police investigation yield nothing, except a theory that someone must be behind the multiple number of kid disappearances at Halloween, while his marriage broke down as Kristen stupidly blames him. Checking up on strange things Charlie noticed, Mike stumbles upon the underground tunnels where the homeless fear the annual appearance of a supernatural prime suspect from Celtic mythology, and runs the misty gauntlet to recuperate his prince.—KGF Vissers
