Stumpy Doh and the Eerie School

Stumpy Doh and the Eerie School is a 1998 American animated film. It is produced by ABC as part of the ABC Limited Edition 10 series. It is released in October 17, 1998.

Plot:
While on the road, Stumpy, Shaun and Sweety discuss the new job Shaun has accepted as a gym teacher. Shaun is reluctant about his decision because of the eerie weather and location.

As the trio pull up to a school they realize that it is the neighboring Corridor Military School. The Darkheart School Shaun has a contract with is much more frightening and spooky. Stumpy gets flung across the moat to the door and is the first to enter the school and meet their pet dragon Mitches who sprays fire at Stumpy.

Shaun and Sweety enter the Darkheart school as a drawbridge lowers and they are able to walk across. The trio meet Mitches and Mrs. Darkheart, discussing Shaun's new job and contract. They also meet a floating hand which helps them with their luggage. One by one the girl-ghouls are met and introduce themselves to the gang. Sabrina, Marissa, Elaine, Jillian and finally Talia. Shaun and Stumpy by this time are already trying to leave the school and terminate Shaun's contract. Shaun who is terrified, mentions how the "girls" are actually girl-ghouls.

The girl-ghouls discuss their problem of not ever winning the volleyball championship against their rivals the Corridor Cadets next door and Shaun agrees to stay and help, starting with early morning exercises the following day. Stumpy starts noticing things not right about the Darkheart school such as a pet piranha in the goldfish tank. Early morning exercises start with ballet while the neighboring Corridor Cadets are beginning their warm-up exercises as well. The Cadets spy Stumpy and Sweety with a telescope and take note of the new coaches at Darkheart. They soon loose their volleyball to Mitches after a cadet serves the ball hard and loses it. The cadets aren't able to practice for a while.

Continuing morning exercises, the Darkheart girls go for a morning jog and meet up with Mitches who is burying the cadet's volleyball. The Darkheart girls stop for rotten apples while Shaun and Stumpy stick out their tongues in disgust. Meanwhile, the Corridor Cadets are working on a water balloon bazooka which they plan to use to retrieve their volleyball but Mitches ends up returning it anyway before they get it working correctly. The gangs meets giant fly-traps in the garden as well as all the rotten food in the garden which the Darkheart girls like. In the garden Stumpy sees venus spy-traps which have been planted their to spy on the Darkheart girls, the first clue that they are being watched by Elizabella, a terrifying spider-witch who wants to use the girls to become "the most powerful witch in monster-dom".

Colonel Corridor visits Darkheart School in order to set the time for their annual volleyball tournament. Mrs. Darkheart offers him fungus fudge and toadstool tea which he eats and drinks in disgust as he comments that it tastes moldy. Shaun is introduced to Colonel Corridor and they plan to play at 1400 hours which Sweety clarifies as 2:00 p.m. The girl ghouls warm-up with "scare-o-robics" and "deep shrieking" exercises and scare the Corridor cadets with the loud screaming. Meanwhile the cadets are warming up with standard stretches and pushups. Colonel Corridor gives the cadets a short pep-talk and tells them that they've "gotta win".

The girls finish their exercises with loosening their muscles and a short swim in the Darkheart moat. Mitches blow-dries them off right before the match. Mrs. Darkheart calls Venom over to repair the Darkheart net and boundary lines. Soon the game ready to begin!

Elaine begins the game with a couple good serves. Soon they are at 10-10 tied. Then Corridor takes the lead after Jillian goes through the net. Next, Talia serves the ball and scores a point, Darkheart now taking the lead. Corridor implants a control device into the volleyball so they can control how the ball moves. They use a remote to make Talia's serve look bad and they take control of the ball. Corridor takes the lead again until Stumpy accidentally swallows the ball's remote control and squirts ketchup at the cadet who was serving. Darkheart gets the next serve by Marissa and they catch back up to Corridor. Elizabella is shown to be watching the game in anticipation. Marissa spikes the ball off the back of Jillian and Sabrina gives the final serve. The remote control in Stumpy's belly gets triggered and the ball moves back into the Corridor's side of the court. Darkheart wins and Talia gets the trophy for her mummy case.

The Darkheart girls start setting up a halloween party, excited that they have won the annual volleyball game. Mrs. Darkheart bakes brownies and caterpillar cookies. The Darkheart girls talk about how their parents plan to attend the party. Shaun and Stumpy get scared as the monsters begin to arrive and they go hide in a secluded room. Elizabella watches the monsters arrive through a spy-trap. The parents meet Stumpy and Shaun anyway and believe they run away from them simply because they are gym teachers trying to stay in shape. Soon they've all met and Talia's father thanks them for "making Talia feel like a winner".

The Darkheart girls present gifts they have made for their parents such a lemon juicer for Wallace Werewolf, a bat-robe for Count von Dracula and a portable shockman for Fred Frankenstein. Elizabella watches the whole time through a spy-trap, saying that "soon the party will be over". Jillian plays a song with the floating hand as an accompaniment. The parents leave after the party is over.

Elizabella and the Octo Hitman plan to brainwash Shaun. They send a bat out to go find Shaun and brainwash him. Stumpy sees the bat as it tries to enter but Shaun doesn't see it. It hides in the window shade and later above Shaun's bed. The bat weaves webbed-headphones which Elizabella uses to talk to and brainwash Shaun. She tells Shaun to take the Darkheart girls to the Barren Bog for a jog, to which he accepts.

The following morning, the Corridor Cadets wake to a homemade alarm clock and discuss their upcoming field trip to the Barren Bog, the same day Shaun is planning to go. Meanwhile, the Darkheart girls all get ready for their field trip as well, getting in Shaun's van. Mrs. Darkheart waves goodbye.

At the bog, Elizabella's sidekick the Octo Hitman awaits to capture the Darkheart girls. Shaun isn't in a trance anymore but is still excited to go for a jog at the bog. Marissa is the first to meet up with the Octo Hitman and his bats. The bats weave a pair of webbed-headphones like those used to brainwash Shaun. Marissa gets brainwashed and taken control of.

Sweety asks Shaun how he thought of going to Barren Bog. Shaun can't recall except that it might have been a dream. They don't watch where they are going and soon all then get stuck in a swamp full of alligators. The trio realizes that the area is much more dangerous than they'd previously thought. Sabrina transforms into a bat in order to save them from the alligators. Meanwhile, the Corridor Cadets are out hiking nearby and fall into quicksand. Talia and Elaine see the boys sinking and help them out of the quicksand with a tree trunk.

Jillian sees Marissa and follows her into a shack, not knowing that Marissa has been brainwashed and intends to brainwash her as well. Two of the girls are now brainwashed. Stumpy, Shaun and Sweety begin to look for the girls, realizing that they haven't seen them around. Sabrina is chased by the Octo Hitman's bats and after a bit of a fight, is overtaken by their webbed-headphones as well. Stumpy runs into the Octo Hitman and Mitches saves him with his fire breath as the Octo Hitman runs off.

The rest of the girls meet up with Marissa and are tricked into entering the shack. Elizabella uses a spell to send the shack to her castle. Shaun and Sweety see Sabrina being bat-napped by the Octo Hitman's bats and begin to worry.

After getting a push out of the mud by the Corridor Cadets, Shaun, Stumpy and Sweety race to the castle to save the Darkheart girls. The entrance is hard to reach, so Sweety builds a contraption to fling the gang and Mitches up to the front of the castle. Elsewhere deeper into the castle, Elizabella discusses how all the Darkheart girls will be made evil at the stroke of midnight with use of her evil potion.

After entering by way of Stumpy's tail as a key, the gang splits up to search the place. A Mirror Monster scares Stumpy and shows Shaun a terrifying reflection of himself. The monster pulls Shaun into the mirror and frees himself into the real world. Elaine comes to clean the mirror and Shaun asks for help. Elaine tells him she can only obey Elizabella, being under her spell. The Mirror Monster chases Stumpy as he yells for help. Stumpy stumbles on Talia and asks for help, but she, like Elaine is under a spell and can only obey Elizabella. Stumpy dresses as a mummy and pretends to be under Elizabella's spell. Soon Sweety realizes the Mirror Monster isn't Shaun and threatens him to bring back Shaun. Mitches shoots fire at the Mirror Monster and he switches back with Shaun, saying the outside world is too dangerous.

Stumpy accidentally breaks into the room with Elizabella's potion brewing in order to make the Darkheart girls evil forever. He is caught by the Octo Hitman. Shaun, Sweety and Mitches try to warn the Darkheart girls that they are in trouble but they don't listen because of the spell they are under. Then the trio look around for Stumpy who had disappeared. They run into a steel room the shape of a large pipe, the floor the shape of a camera shutter. The Octo Hitman holds Stumpy above them, telling them he has "just begun to be mean". He opens the floor and they all fall into the water-filled bottom. The Octo Hitman warns them of the Swamp Riser creature who lives in the well tunnel. The creature lurches toward them.

Back at the Corridor Military School the cadets decide that the Darkheart girls are in trouble and construct a foot-pedal helicopter.

Sweety starts a ball game with the Swamp Riser and tricks him into making a ladder for them to escape the well tunnel. Elizabella attaches headpieces to the Darkheart Girls for the flow of the potion to make quick work of making the girls evil forever. The girls start to twitch and howl. The Corridor Cadets hear the girls screaming and fly over Castle Elizabella. They drop water bombs into the castle as the Octo Hitman tries to catch Shaun and Stumpy who have accidently discovered secret doors to enter the room with Elizabella and the potion brewing. Stumpy and Shaun accidently knock off the headpieces which were going to be used to distribute the potion to the Darkheart girls. Elizabella shoots magic at the water-bombing cadets and they back off into the distance. The girls change back to normal and Elizabella changes Stumpy into a frog as a last-ditch effort to scare them into conformity. Stumpy as a frog, accidently knocks all sorts of things into the brewing potion and the formula is reversed. Talia steals Elizabella's wand to change Stumpy back to normal. Elaine tosses the wand into the brewing potion and Elizabella stares in disbelief as the potion has been over-generized and will explode any second.

The Corridor Cadets return back up in the nick of time to save them all by flying away in the homemade helicopter. Elizabella and the Octo Hitman go after the heroes on their broomsticks, but the potion explodes and zaps Elizabella and her henchman. Elizabella yelled in rage as she and the Octo Hitman kept plummeting down until finally, they both crashed onto the ground. Elizabella and the Octo Hitman were lying down lifelessly, just as Castle Revolta is destroyed. Back at Darkheart, everyone has thrown a huge party to celebrate the success. Sweety does a rap. Soon Shaun and Stumpy are introduced to a new set of students and they run away in terror. Sweety says goodbye to Mitches and follows. As the trio drives away, the Darkheart girls wave goodbye from the porch of the school. Stumpy, Shaun and Sweety howl a loud Darkheart goodbye and drive off into the moonlight.
