Plot

Kathy Tudor is left home alone when her parents go out on a stormy night. She is frightened by scary movies while channel surfing, and goes to the kitchen to make some cinnamon toast. When she puts it in the toaster she hears a noise in the other room which ends of being a tree branch scratching against the window. The smoke alarm goes off from the toast burning and she burns her fingers and gets an electric shock while attempting to remove the toast with a fork. She calls 911 and says to send help fast and then hangs up. Later a fireman, medic and police officer show up, size up the situation and give her a lecture on safety and then leave. Ernie tests her by knocking on the door pretending to delivering a check for the lottery, and she opens the door. They warn her never to let strangers in, then each of them give her 3 safety questions and then leave. She receives another knock on the door and a man says he has a flat tire and needs to use the phone. She says that he will go somewhere else. The person knocking turns out to be Jason Voorhees, accompanied by a witch, werewolf, mummy and an alien.
