Norman Babcock lives in the small town of Blithe Hollow, where his ability to communicate with ghosts makes him a social outcast. When his eccentric uncle warns him of a centuries-old witch’s curse, Norman must perform a ritual to save the town. As zombies rise from their graves, Norman teams up with his classmates to stop the chaos. Along the way, he uncovers the tragic truth behind the so-called witch—a misunderstood child punished by fear and ignorance. Instead of violence, Norman uses empathy and understanding to break the curse. The story emphasizes compassion, forgiveness, and the dangers of judging others, delivering a surprisingly deep message beneath its spooky fun.
