万圣镇的各位鬼怪，已经习惯于在每年万圣节那天出没搞作一下，他们是彻头彻尾的少根筋的生物，只晓得如何吓人。而南瓜王子杰克，是非常与众不同的一个。他已经厌倦了带给人们惊恐的玩意，一心想做出某些改变。偶然一次打开了圣诞镇的大门，让他眼前豁然一亮，杰克心中燃起了要带领兄弟制造圣诞欢乐的决心。
但是，这帮万圣镇的鬼怪们似乎并不明白其中深意。杰克绑架了胖乎乎的圣诞老人，吩咐伙计们开始埋头制作圣诞礼物。满脑只有恐怖点子的万圣镇兄弟，又怎能逃过思维惯性，做出令人欢乐的礼物呢。于是，恐怖的、吓人的礼物将在圣诞那夜抛给孩子们，当杰克坐着人造鹿车派出礼物时，一枚高射炮正对准了这个好心办坏事的可怜虫。

Three stand-up comedians seek fame and fortune in the hottest comedy scene in the world: San Francisco in the 1980s. There they meet rising stars Robin Williams and Dana Carvey.
