Summary
When the bus heading to Minnesota breaks down, Danny, Sam, Tucker, Valerie, Mr. Lancer, Ms. Tetslaff, and the rest of the Casper High students have to stay at an old house for the night in order to get it fixed. But, oh dear, things go wrong when the house gets haunted and villain ghosts Vortex, Nocturne, and Undergrowth cause nightmares, create violent storms, possess everyone into zombies, and get revenge on Danny, Sam, and Valerie. Will they stop them before the bus gets fixed by sunup?

Plot
Cold Opening: Sam is excited that the class are on their way to Minneapolis, Minnesota for their week vacation, but she tells Danny that he's not excited, since he's surrounded by so many students, including Valerie. On their way there through a spooky forest, a big storm happens, and a bus's battery overheats, causing everyone to be stranded. Mr. Lancer and Mrs. Tetslaff announce to everyone that they're all stuck somewhere in the haunted forest, after calling the garage to fix the bus. Soon, luckily, Danny points to an old abandoned house somewhere nearby. As Lancer and Tetslaff lead them there, however, Danny's ghost enemies Undergrowth, Nocturne, and Vortex watch them from a distance, realizing that soon they will abduct everyone.

Trivia

 * This is the second Halloween episode; the first being "Fright Night". It references the 1979 movie The Amityville Horror, Little Shop of Horrors, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Mothra, and The Walking Dead.
 * The scene where a boy runs away from the mind vine until it quickly attaches to his head, making him a zombie is recycled during this episode from last series' "Urban Jungle".
 * Danny's family does not appear, and this episode does not take place in Amity Park like in "Claw of the Wild".
 * Unusual for what Undergrowth did to her in "Urban Jungle", he never possesses Sam Manson to become his evil queen again; instead, Sam, along with Danny Phantom, are later bound together in vines and gagged overnose while suspended upside down above a group of bloodthirsty vampire plants, that wait to devour them.
 * Unlike being shown in Mothra, the vampire plants grow from the ground.
