To raise money for his girlfriend's school dance crew competition, magician Max conducts a public seance. Despite Nicky and Tara supplying genuine spectral thrills, all believe it to be Max' trickery, including Cammie (who, thereafter, breaks up with Max), when the ghost of a French maid butts in, leaving info in finding Nicky and Tara's missing parents. Since Nicky and Tara have complained about Max treating them more as pets than friends, Max turns to a famed ghost hunter (shooting a TV episode in town) for help, only to discover him a charlatan. Because of the shoot site, Phears the ghost demon ably takes possession of the pseudo ghost hunter to re-try releasing his evil ghost army upon the world. The discovery of a dark crystal in Max' house (which Max uses to try buying back Cammie's affections) becomes the linchpin to Phears' success, with fame, siblings, a rival suitor and an anxious choreographer only getting in the way.

A plane flight carrying a college football team crashes in the Himalayas. Surviving the crash was only part of their problem. Trying not to become a meal for the monster lurking in the mountains will be their greater challenge.
In a future in which most water has disappeared from the Earth, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, who are living at an orphanage, run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question plays a hockey based game on roller skates and is quite good. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government. Finding an orb of special power, they find it has unusual effects on them. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the wasteland looking for a place they can live free as the stormtroopers search for them and the orb.
