October 31st, 1987: Every fall, folks come to Possum Hollow from miles around for the county fair. Hay rides, hot chocolate and carnival games are on everyone's mind; everyone but Donny and Tami. The past two years they’ve battled an onslaught of evil that’s overrun their beloved town on Halloween night, and they know this year will be no different.

Since learning of the town's curse, they've been researching its dark past and honing their combat skills, preparing for whatever may come. But this year, something feels different, something strange is in the air...

In ‘87 you’ll unleash new skills on the undead - enhanced attacks, exploding pumpkins, wall jumping, broom ride battles, and much more! Do you have what it takes to save Possum Hollow from the sinister forces behind the curse in the year of the witch?
