Synopsis

Maggot and Fungus suffer at school for being so out of fashion until they wear magical clothes found in the Colonel's closet. When they go to school, all the kids see Fungus and Maggot wearing the clothes they wish they had. Things go bad when everyone wants the clothes off Maggot and Fungus' back. At the same time, Rictus and Funerella are trying to impress a TV crew doing a spot on the hotel. Thinking they want "normal," Rictus and Funerella strain, while the TV crew wants hip and exotic.

Production notes

Pass the Fawlty Towers, turn right after the Addams Family, and you'll find the Zombie Hotel! Wide-eyed twins Fungus and Maggot will welcome you, along with their Mom and Dad Zombies, Rictus and Funerella, and a team of wacky employees who never run short of oddities. But don't worry: the twins and their human school pal Sam will come to the rescue whenever you're served pig's-eye soup for lunch, or if your room is next to a couple of loud vampires. A different kind of resort where there's never a dull day!
