After Fiona and their three children scare away some teenage trick or treaters, Shrek, Donkey, Puss, the Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf, Gingy, and Pinocchio (after unsuccessfully trying to scare Shrek and his family) decide to tell scary stories. Shrek claims that whoever can tell the scariest story without getting eliminated will be crowned King of Halloween. They go to the rundown kingdom of Duloc where Lord Farquaad once reigned and get settled inside his abandoned castle. Each takes turns telling their story.
