The Fright Club monsters are cooking a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. But what to do when vampire Vladimir's family shows up unexpectedly? Invite them in! Except...Aunt Bessy complains about garlic mashed potatoes, Uncle Gus electrocutes the turkey, etc. Digitally colored graphite-pencil illustrations amp up the humor and cast the nocturnal spooks' preparations in a suitably dim light. The simmering tension eventually boils over, before a "do-over" meal the next day.
