Open Season: Scared Silly

In the heart of Timberline National Forest, a lively community of woodland creatures lives under a canopy of towering pines and perpetual sunshine, where jokes travel as quickly as the wind and every rustle hints at a new adventure. The forest’s peace is tinged with mystery when a whispered legend of a “Wailing Wampus Werewolf” begins to spread, sparking a blend of excitement and unease among both animal residents and the occasional human visitor. The atmosphere balances playful banter with a subtle undercurrent of curiosity, inviting the audience to wonder what lies just beyond the familiar trails.

Elliot the energetic squirrel takes it upon himself to help his best friend, Boog the good‑natured bear, confront a lingering fear that has taken root after the eerie campfire tale. Their friendship, built on countless hijinks and shared moments, now faces the test of courage versus comfort. Alongside their loyal sidekick, Mr. Weenie the enthusiastic dog, the trio sets out to turn dread into daring, using humor and teamwork as their compass through the forest’s shadowed corners.

Meanwhile, Shaw, a former hunter turned tour guide, reappears with ambitions that could reshape the forest’s future. Still nursing old grudges, he sees the growing rumor of the werewolf as a convenient lever to push for the reopening of hunting season, a move that threatens the delicate balance the animals have come to cherish. His presence adds a human‑centric tension that contrasts sharply with the woodland’s carefree spirit, hinting at larger stakes beyond the immediate scares.

Together, the friends must grapple with their own anxieties while chasing whispers of the elusive creature. The story promises a blend of slapstick comedy, heartfelt moments, and just enough spooky intrigue to keep the forest humming with anticipation, as each character learns that bravery often comes in the most unexpected packages.
