Plot
The film begins in the town of New Holland one year after the events of the previous film, after which Sparky has become somewhat of a town celebrity due to his heroic actions and his condition of a being re-animated creature. Despite the constant flocking of tourists and pursuit of autographs, Sparky and Victor alway try to get away from the hassle and spend some time with their friends, including the new girl in school, Cynthia, who had moved to new Holland one month previously, Nassor, Weird Girl, Edgar "E" Gore, Bob, Victor's parents, Susan and Edward Frankenstein, the mayor, Mr. Burgermeister, the teacher, Mr. Rzykruski, the Gym Teacher and the 2 women and babies (who now talk) from the previous film. However one Day while Sparky, Victor, Elsa and Persephone are playing fetch in the park, Persephone is struck by a car and killed while pursuing the ball, much like how Sparky was one year previously. Depressed and broken-hearted, Elsa spends the next few days locked in her room crying her eyes out over Persephone’s death. Eventually Elsa goes to Victor’s house to speak to him, after interrupting a card game between him and Edgar, Elsa asks for their help by resurrecting Persephone the same way he did to Sparky. Needless to say Victor is taken aback by this request, not only because there might be a risk of something going wrong, but mainly due to the fact that he promised his parents that he wouldn’t do anything like that ever again. However, after seeing the look of desperation in Elsa’s eyes, Victor eventually concedes to Elsa’s request and agrees to bring back Persephone. That night, Victor once again assembles his makeshift laboratory in the attic while Edgar and Elsa break into the Pet Cemetery and dig up Persephone's corpse, unaware that they were being watched by the new Cryptkeeper, Mr. Karloff, who then follows them to Victor’s house. After fixing Persephone’s body, a storm begins to rage as the final preparations are made to bring her life. Lightning then strikes the kite sent up by Victor, sending electricity through her body. Edgar and Elsa then lower her onto the table and realize their success, with Elsa happily saying "She's alive! Alive!" However, little do they know, Mr. Karloff had actually witnessed the whole experiment from outside. At first Victor and Elsa agree to keep Persephone a secret and keep her in Victor’s attic, however, Edgar once again lets slip out what they done and tells Cynthia, Weird Girl, Nassor, Bob and Toshiaki about the experiment. However, learning from their mistakes from the first time, they agree to keep Persephone a secret. Meanwhile Mr. Karloff is secretly performing his own experiments with some of the animals he dug up from the Cemetery, during the next thunder storm he resurrects Nibbles the Demonic Rabbit and keeps him in a cage inside the tomb of Colossus while he makes a phone call to someone in New York to try and sell his creation and Victor’s secret to a mysterious buyer who demands that he create more creatures and send him footage on the experiment first. Suspecting that there is something going on, Elsa’s father sneaks into Victor’s house and discovers Persephone in the attic and is startled, causing Persephone to flee with Sparky close behind her. While Victor, Elsa and their parents search for the two dogs, Mr Karloff is filming the last few touches of his newest experiments and brings back a Hedgehog named Prickly who mutates into a hulking Hyde-Hedgehog, a cat named Hercules who becomes deformed on one side and becomes a “Phantom Cat” and a Python who splices with a fly and becomes a gigantic “Snakefly”. The Were-Rat, Colossus the Mummy Hamster, the Sea Monkeys, Shelley the Turtle Monster and Mr. Whiskers the Vampire Cat also come back from the dead. After locking them all up, Karloff makes another phone call to his mysterious buyer, unaware that Nibbles the Demonic Rabbit had chewed through the bars of his cage and begins setting the other creations free. The monsters then break loose into the town and they start causing havoc, while a terrified Karloff cowers in fear behind one of the gravestones in order to escape, completely unaware that everything has been witnessed by Cynthia who was walking by the Pet Cemetery at the time. After finding Sparky and Persephone in the park, Victor and Elsa hear screaming from the Town Hall and go to investigate. Lead by Nibbles, Karloff’s creations are attacking the citizens of New Holland, Cynthia manages to find Victor and Elsa and tell them what she saw Karloff do. After everyone fights back the creatures, the Hyde-Hedgehog is killed after falling off the town hall roof and Nibbles meets his end after Weird Girl and Cynthia seal him in a stew pot. Toshiaki and Edgar throw buckets at Shelley and the Were-Rat, Bob gives a bag of popcorn to the Sea Monkeys, Nassor crushes Colossus with a shovel and Weird Girl grabs a wooden stake from the windmill and throws it at Mr. Whiskers. The other creations then flee. However before anyone could go after them Mr Karloff kidnaps Elsa during the chaos and takes her back to the Pet Cemetery. Holding Elsa hostage in his laboratory, Karloff waits for the pursuing Persephone so that he could sell her to his mysterious client. As expected Persephone arrives and Karloff easily captures her, however, unbeknownst to anyone Victor, Sparky, Nassor and Edgar had followed Persephone to the Cemetery and are aware of what is going on. Suddenly witnessing the Snakefly entering the Cemetery, Sparky suddenly draws its attention and leads the creature into the tomb, after which that the Snakefly notices his creator and wraps his body around him in a fit of rage, thus allowing Victor and Edgar to run in after and free Elsa and Persephone and escape the tomb. Back inside. Karloff’s pet Raven witnesses his master’s struggle with the Snakefly, saying, "Nevermore!!!" he then sets off some explosives Karloff set earlier in order to get rid of any evidence and dies along with Karloff and the Snakefly in the explosion. The film then ends with Sparky and Persephone riding through town in a wagon with a banner that reads "Just Married"   and surrounded by confetti tossed by Victor, Elsa and the other kids, however little do they know that the Phantom Cat is hiding in the shadows after surviving the chaos giving the audience a wink.
