PEGGY SUE...
They visit a magic bookstore, only to find it filled with man-eating monsters. At the last moment, they flee the store on the fly, only to be taken to a black castle by the monsters that escaped from the book. The black castle is enormous, and no one knows what lies within. It is home to a bony doctor, whom no one has ever seen, yet everyone knows he can heal any injury. In reality, the black castle is a fierce monster from outer space that was damaged when it collided with a meteorite many years ago while flying over the Earth. The bony doctor is a robot designed by extraterrestrials to handle emergencies. It can heal any extraterrestrial injury in a matter of seconds. In fact, it has already begun treating the black castle, aiming to replace all the concrete structures with muscle and ultimately turn the castle into a living creature. They must destroy it before it fully awakens, or else it will be too late once it comes to life.
PEGGY SUE...
Determined to brave the black castle, Peggy Sue and her companions embark on a terrifying and thrilling adventure.
