Description

Ricky Beamer is furious when he gets kicked off the school paper by mean girl Tasha. So he plays a prank on Tasha that casts her in an unflattering light. That night, Ricky receives a call from a creepy voice, revealing that Ricky's prank has caused a bizarre chain of events. Suddenly, he finds himself in danger as he is pursued by lizard-like creeps. Ricky decides to play a joke on Tasha, the bossy editor-in-chief, by sticking a message in the paper that reads, 'If you're a creep, call Tasha after midnight.' However, the message gets distorted, and Ricky starts receiving strange calls from kids claiming to be creeps with scaly purple skin and long sharp fangs.
