Halloween night in Cavell, Il. starts as a typical evening of costumes and candy, but the small-town calm is shattered when a ravenous alien rodent crash-lands in the neighborhood. Mac, Dean, Amanda, and Skyler—a group of misfit friends with their own share of personal struggles—find themselves at the epicenter of the chaos. What begins as playful banter and bizarre antics soon spirals into a fight for survival as they come face-to-face with the creature’s deadly attacks.
With no help in sight, the friends must rely on their creativity and questionable teamwork to take on the alien menace. Armed with duct-taped weapons and sheer determination, they navigate the night’s escalating dangers, battling their own fears and the mounting absurdity of their situation. From harrowing close calls to laugh-out-loud mishaps, the group’s journey is as hilarious as it is heart-pounding.
As the night unfolds, their survival depends not just on defeating the creature, but on embracing their quirks and standing together. Packed with humor, action, and a touch of the absurd, “MAC-D vs The Space Rodent” delivers a fresh take on the alien invasion genre, proving that sometimes, the unlikeliest of heroes rise to the occasion.
Mac (30s), a charming yet aimless jack-of-all-trades, currently ``in between jobs,`` with an unapologetic streak of laziness masked by his sharp wit and humor. While his laid-back attitude often leads to friction with his girlfriend Amanda, his loyalty to his friends shines when the chips are down. Beneath his sarcastic exterior lies a man who craves purpose, and his unorthodox methods often lead to unexpected moments of heroism.
Dean (30s), is Mac’s best friend, a self-proclaimed alien conspiracy enthusiast who takes pride in his DIY home renovations and collection of obscure alien literature. His quirky, lighthearted demeanor is contrasted by moments of surprising insight and bravery. While often the comic relief, Dean’s steadfast belief in extraterrestrials and his resourcefulness make him a key player in the group's fight against the alien menace.
Skyler (Late 20s), is Amanda’s best friend and a darkly confident, no-filter individual who thrives on blunt humor and bold statements. Dressed as a vampire for Halloween, she exudes charisma and takes pride in her ability to remain cool under pressure. However, when faced with the alien creature, Skyler’s quick thinking and dry wit evolve into acts of bravery, proving she’s more than just the group’s sassiest member.
Amanda (Late 20s), is Mac’s fiercely independent and pragmatic girlfriend, working as a bartender to keep their lives afloat while Mac figures out his career. Though exasperated by Mac’s antics, her love for him keeps her grounded—until the arrival of the alien forces her to channel her inner strength. A natural problem-solver, Amanda is the glue that holds the group together, balancing no-nonsense leadership with moments of vulnerability.
Sam (40s), is a well-meaning but slightly creepy roadside helper dressed in a tan jumpsuit with a questionable level of professionalism. His unnerving demeanor and ill-fated attempt to assist Amanda and Skyler make him both a comedic interlude and a tragic casualty in the alien rodent's rampage.
The Crow (17), is an emo goth enthusiast who finds herself caught in the middle of the chaos after an ill-advised trick-or-treating session. Sporting a sarcastic, unenthusiastic attitude, she becomes a victim of the alien’s ferocity. Though not a central hero, her dramatic misfortune provides both tension and humor, highlighting the creature's deadly nature.
Lord Ganark is the Alpha predator of the alien species, a towering and grotesquely majestic creature that exudes both primal ferocity and a chilling, otherworldly intelligence. Unlike the smaller alien rodent, Ganark is a calculated hunter with an aura of dominance, displaying strategic behavior that suggests it's more than just a mindless beast. Its sleek, spiked exoskeleton, bioluminescent markings, and bone-chilling roar set it apart as a true apex predator. As the ultimate antagonist, Ganark's appearance escalates the danger, forcing the group to confront not just survival but the reality of a larger extraterrestrial threat looming over them.
The Alien Rodent is a bizarre, otherworldly creature with a deceptively cute but grotesque appearance, combining features of a raccoon, rodent, and an alien predator. Its glowing red eyes and ravenous hunger are only matched by its surprising intelligence and ability to outmaneuver its prey. The creature’s relentless pursuit of food and destruction turns the small town of Cavell into its personal hunting ground, making it the ultimate antagonist in this comedic horror tale.
