Plot[]
The Hauntleys are preparing the Scare B&B for their very first Street Stroll. Boris mentions that it is a walking tour where humans visit homes in the Hauntleys' neighborhood. Today, the Hauntleys will join the Stroll for the first time to get to know all of their neighbors and make new friends. Edna arrives with the first Street Stroll. Inside is a marble bust. Edna places it at its location before joining the strollers.
Gregoria knows she got booted off her pedestal by a bust when Demi recognizes the bust as Oscar, the spirit that haunts this bust. They go way back, as they haunted their first house together. Oscar is an expert on haunted houses. A magical shimmer then appears, as Oscar has previously been cast with the Stone Silent spell, which prevented him from talking or moving. Oxana reverses the spell, and Oscar thanks the Hauntleys for the help. He accidentally cast the spell on himself while haunting a House of Mirrors. Oscar has been waiting to visit the Scare B&B forever, as he read all about it when he haunted the Transylvania library. Oscar mentions his feelings now that he is able to speak again.
The Street Stroll people arrive, and Oscar decides to share it with them. The Hauntleys will handle them. Oscar is tasked to be quiet until the Street Strollers finish the tour of the house. Vampirina leads them to a different part of the house while the Street Strollers begin touring. Poppy is tasked to distract the humans if something spooky happens. Gregoria offers for Oscar to play a game of Statute, where he can't move or talk. Eventually, Oscar sneezes, alerting Mr. Gore and Poppy. Vampirina tells him everything's fine, and that she was practicing a new dance. Oscar states the windows are bootiful, and Vampirina tells Mr. Gore about it and practicing doing voices for fun.
Oscar mentions the window's design as contemporary cobweb when the tour moves to the living room. Vampirina then uncovers Oscar, who states that the windows gave him chills. She sneaks him to the living room. Poppy shows everyone Vampirina's Heavy Hoofer Dance while Oxana tells Edna the bust is right where she left it. Edna likes the living room, and Vampirina keeps Oscar quiet. Mr. Gore wants to know more about the house, but Oxana mentions that Uncle Dieter doesn't say much, so the strollers head to the next house.
After Gregoria mentions it, Vampirina decides for Oscar to help by doing a tour for the Hauntleys. The guests won't see Oscar, but will only hear his voice. Vampirina mentions that when her class went to a museum, there were buttons on the displays and when pressed, they tell them about the object. Oxana then goes to make fake buttons around the house while Vampirina catches up to the strollers, telling them that the Hauntleys will share facts with an audio tour.
The strollers return to the Scare B&B, where thanks to the buttons and Oscar's voice, the tour is a success, with Mr. Gore stating that it was the most lively and informative house tour in Street Stroll history. The Hauntleys thank Oscar for sharing fangtastic stories about the house, and Oscar states that home is where the haunted house is. He gets an idea to follow his lifelong dream of being a haunted house tour guide, and thanks the Hauntleys for getting his voice back. Vampirina tells Oscar he will be spooktacular, and sends him on his way.
