My Daddy is Haunted!: Planet Ant's original horror comedy in Hamtramck

Long ago in a small eastern European town, Sterling Mandrake, a really evil warlock, was accused of heresy and burned alive by a righteous nun trying to save the village. His castle sat dormant on a crumbling mountain for 164 years, until the Maplesquatch family showed up. Dorky but loving dad Orwin surprises his wife Margo, a bestselling romance author, teenage daughter Leona (she's going through a phase) and 10-year-old yo-yo master Linus with a castle getaway. But the fun turns to terror as something starts happening to dear old dad. Is that creepy painting alive? What's with all the bugs? Come find out, if you dare. Hammer Horror meets National Lampoon's Vacation.
