When black cats roam, and spooks are seen,
Come celebrate, it’s Halloween.
Sinful, Louisiana, really knows how to throw a party, and it goes all out for Halloween. The weeklong celebration kicks off with a maze of horror in the park built of hay bales. And Fortune has the perfect assignment—the executioner. Her scene comes complete with a head block, a hatchet, and a fake body with removable head. It’s the perfect setup…for a crime.
When Fortune returns from break and realizes the body in her scene is a real one and not the prop, she knows trouble is coming. Before she can shake a broomstick, Celia Arceneaux has raised the alarm and the state police show up to take over the investigation. With Carter on the sidelines and Fortune the prime suspect, Swamp Team 3 sets out to catch a real monster.
Only Sinful will have a week long Halloween celebration (apparently Ida Belle and Gertie managed to persuade the local reverends that this was the best way to fight the devil!), one thing that happens at the starting and closing weekends is a couple of mazes (not too bad for kiddies but more full on for adults), Fortune has been asked this year to be "The Executioner), basically as people come around the maze she hacks off a dummy's head. So far so good, but when they all take a break, and after having re-wrapped Gertie (playing the Mummy) Fortune discovers that the dummy has been replaced by a real life …. err dead …. beheaded corpse!
Now Carter has been sidelined by the DA and the State Police, Fortune is suspect #1 and Carter has hired her (and indirectly Ida Belle and Gertie) to find out what happened and why!
