The film opens with Betty, an affluent suburban housewife and modern-day witch (Deborah Harry), planning a dinner party for her fellow witches. The main course is to be Timmy (Matthew Lawrence), a young boy whom she has captured and locked in her pantry, constantly feeding him cookies to fatten him up in time for him to be put into her oven. In an effort to stall her from stuffing and roasting him, Timmy offers to tell her a story from a book she gave him, titled Tales from the Darkside.
