ミッドナイトホラースクール

Ever wonder what happens to the things you throw away or leave behind? Or where things like crop circles came from? They aren't as unrelated as you may think! Just ask one of the Midnight Horror School's most successful alumni - the old school lawnmower! After dark, this school comes to life with a variety of unique pupils, each being the "ghost" of a forgotten about or thrown away item you. These "ghost-kids“ spend their nights in school learning that they are far from being useless and how to use their powers to become something special; to be remembered forever as a paranormal "wonder" of the world! Current students include "Hikky", a mostly used up pencil who wants to prove he's got plenty left by bringing his drawings to life. There is no end to the fun and learning with Hikky and his schoolmates at the Midnight Horror School for wonders of the world.
