Summary

Ray Peterson is a suburbanite whose plans for a peaceful vacation are disturbed by a creepy new family on the block. To the disappointment of his wife Carol, Ray decides to spend a relaxing week at home, and soon gets into trouble with his neighbors--a hefty busybody, a freaked-out ex-soldier, and a spacey teenager--as they observe the strange happenings next door at the Klopek'sbizarre residence. When a neighboorhood grouch suddenly disappears, the men are convinced the ramshackle house hides some hideous clues. Armed with assault rifles, high-powered binoculars and a shovel, they decide to see for themselves exactly what is going on in the Klopek place. Set in an average neighborhood that is anything but average.
