Thirteen O'Clock Strikes Back

By Alexander Szot and Brian Szot

Ben and LIly are back, and so is their cousin, Frank. Although Ben and Lily suspect the real Frank was replaced with a mechanical park figure underneath all that flesh, they can't prove it to even his parents, but they suspect it means they might have to return to the Spooky Times' theme parks to figure it out.

Not that they ever intend to visit those dastardly parks ever again

Their plan works out for a year until Ben and Lily's parents surprise them with a ski trip to the mountains - one that accidentally ends up being a surprise trip to a holiday-themed Spooky Times park called "Blizzard Times." Try as they might to prevent their return to the mystical and fearful realm of Happy Haunted Hours, Ben and Lily find (no thanks to Frank again), that they may not be able to help it.

Familiar faces, including the Helpful Parrot, the Annoying Seagull, and Agent Whoops are here to greet them, as well as a cast of new characters, from the sorcery-dependant apprentices from the hit movies featuring the Xoom magicians, to the boneheaded yet still fearful Zombie Claus, and even the new villain, the invisible Professor Xilch.

Along for the ride, to hinder more than help them, is Ben and Lily's teenage cousin, Pheemie. Although a sourpuss who lives her life staring into mobile phone where all of her friends exist in the form of text messages, Pheemie will be the key to finding a way home, if only Ben and Lily can teach her to tap back into her childhood where her imagination once roamed free.
