==Plot synopsis==
Late one night in [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], [[Mario]] is watching ''The Movie Macabre'' on TV, which is hosted by [[Elvira]]. Mario declines [[Luigi]]'s advice to go to bed, but he soon falls asleep and starts having a dream.

In his dream, Mario finds Elvira standing in [[Edison]]'s manhole, where she is being held down by the bandaged arms of a mummy. Mario eventually gets Elvira out of the hole, but then has to deal with the mummy when it climbs out.

Mario and Elvira argue on how to get rid of the mummy, but eventually the mummy grabs one of Elvira's arms. Mario grabs her other arm and engages in a game of tug o' war with the Mummy. Mario then notices that one of the mummy's bandages is loose, so he unravels it, revealing that the mummy is actually Luigi. 

Mario introduces Luigi and Elvira to each other, but Elvira, who has seen enough craziness for one day, decides to leave. Mario then scolds Luigi for his behavior, telling him that he could have hurt somebody; Luigi says, "Exactly!" and starts to strangle him.

Luigi wakes Mario up from his nightmare, bringing him back to reality. Mario asks what he has done with Elvira and Luigi says she is right there where she was on TV. The camera cuts to the television screen, which shows Elvira hastily getting back in position on her couch as if she had left somewhere. Mario realizes that he had a nightmare and Luigi then tells him to go bed. As he walks away, Mario notices a bandage hanging from Luigi's pant leg. Mario turns his attention back to Elvira on TV, and she gives him the following message before blowing a kiss: "Goodnight, Mario. And unpleasant dreams!"
