Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford’s debut kids novel comes to life in this laugh-out-loud riot of a comedy!

Charley Maplewood has never been one for parties – that would require friends, which he doesn’t have. Well, unless you count his monster friends, but they’re only imaginary. But now that he’s turning ten—the big one-oh—he decides to throw a birthday party for himself, complete with a “House of Horrors” theme. His planning is perfect but then his decorations set the Garage on fire, he accidentally invites the school bully and his sister tried to bake the cake in the microwave… Will Charley be able to pull it together before the big One-Oh… becomes the big OH-NO!?

This 60 minute version is suitable for Monster, Zombie and Alien loving kids of all ages!
