"Frights for hire? Why not?! Whether it’s showing up as a SWAT team to frighten neighbors into turning off the loud music, scaring a 9-year-old into going to see the doctor, or curing someone’s hiccups, Annie’s Fear Factory is ready to serve. She explains, “We are scared every day by the news, insurance ads, doctors’ reports, and so on. Wouldn’t it be nice to be in control of the scare for a change?” But now it’s Annie herself who’s afraid. The lawyer next door, Percy, keeps trying to close the Fear Factory down, and the landlady is talking about selling the building. Throw into this mix two fiancés, a love-struck bus driver, an IRS auditor, and a gangster, and you’ve got a frightening — and hysterical — mess! Annie takes a loan from the gangster to pay off the landlady, and Percy sees his chance. He pays off all Annie’s loans and gives her 48 hours to pay him back or he owns her! She then vanishes. What is going on? Who is real? And who is scaring whom? This laff-riot is full of twists, fast dialogue, and, of course, a few funny scares.
