Even though the castle is an eerie place, full of dark secrets, Scully the Cat is excited to start his new job and prove himself to be a great gardener. But wait a minute... what happened to all his co-workers? Were they devoured by bloodthirsty vampires? Spooked by a love-struck ghost? Pranked by a comic-reading goblin?
