Storyline
This story takes place in a typical American neighborhood, when some new neighbors come to live in the house next to Ray Peterson. These new people are really strange; nobody has ever seen them, their house is a real mess, and during the night you can hear weird noises from their basement. The only thing they know is their name: Klopeks. One day Walter (an old man of the neighborhood) suddenly disappears and everyone starts to suspect the Klopeks...

Trivia
The street was shot on location in the Universal Backlot. It's been used in many films and TV shows, including Desperate Housewives. Some of the buildings have changed over time, but Walter's house is the only building on the lot that hasn't changed at all. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Art and Ray are in the basement, talking about the incubus and succubus, Art accidentally hits the lamp, causing it to swing back and forth. As the light slows down, a crew member hits the lamp again to keep it swinging. See more »Quotes
