Summary

Vinny Pastorelli talks loud, drives fast, and drinks his coffee strong—but none of that prepared him for the supernatural catastrophes that keep finding him. Whether he’s dodging death in a school gym, a suburban neighborhood, or the middle of nowhere, Vinny’s got one rule: survive first, ask questions later. In this four-part horror-comedy gauntlet from writer Craig Groshek and voice actor Kevin Barbare, chaos comes calling in the most unexpected places. Packed with monsters, mayhem, and enough garlic to clear a city block, this episode delivers high-octane hilarity with a Bronx-sized helping of bad decisions. Strap in, wise up, and remember: when the unholy shows up, Vinny’s already got a game plan. Probably.
