Monster Mash (2000 film)

Drac, Frank, and Wolf were the scariest monsters around, until they became associated with fun. They end up summoned by the Superior Court of Horrors, where the judge orders them to prove that they are still scary by the end of 24 hours or they will be sentenced to an eternity entertaining at children's parties. Drac, Frank, and Wolf are assigned to scare the Tinklemeister family. The Tinklemeisters soon end up assisting Drac, Frank, and Wolf into proving that they are still scary, even when the Grim Reaper (the prosecutor of the Superior Court of Horror) sends three new monsters consisting of Freddie de Spaghetti, King of Carbohydrates (a humanoid spaghetti monster based on Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees), Chicky the Doll of Destruction (a wind-up toy based on Chucky), and the Alien Eater to make sure that they all fail in their mission.
