In the Halloween horror story, a synopsis might detail how the boy escapes the werewolf by hiding in a shower stall in a bathroom display. It might tell that when Dracula is led to a display of mirrors, his shock allows the boy to escape to the automotive department. There Frankenstein has hooked himself up to a battery charger (a moment of comic relief)

The synopsis could include dialoque elements like : the guard in the store might comment as he sets up the boy mannequin, "Check out the terror on his face. they sure make mannequins lifelike these days."
