Based on "An Old Story", the fourth story in Still More Tales to Give You Goosebumps (the fourth short-story collection from the Tales to Give You Goosebumps anthology series).

Tony and Jon discover that their supposed Great-Aunt Dahlia is actually a witch who wants to turn them into old men so her elderly friends can marry them.


The episode provides examples of:

  • Dem Bones: The result of Dahlia's exposure to her own prune juice. She turns into a skeleton (a representation of the monster she truly is) an then turns to dust.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Once Dahlia bites the dust, her friends are quick to make themselves scarce.
  • Transformation Discretion Shot: In the end, Jon turns back into a baby off screen by eating a jar of baby food, an antidote for Aunt Dahlia's magical prunes.
  • Related in the Adaptation: The epilogue of the short story reveals that Dahlia wasn't actually related to them. In the episode, she is, and they've met her before.
