What is Dead End: Paranormal Park About?

This show follows two new employees, Barney and Norma. They work at a local theme park called Phoenix Parks. A famous celebrity, Pauline Phoenix, created this park. Barney's dog, Pugsley, and a thousand-year-old demon named Courtney join them. Together, they discover a world full of paranormal creatures. They also learn new things about themselves.

Barney and Norma's First Day

Barney Guttman is a teen boy who starts a new job. He works as a security guard at Phoenix Parks. Barney has some problems with his family. Soon after starting his job, Barney secretly moves into the Haunted House attraction. His dog, Pugsley, moves in with him.

On the same day, Norma Khan also starts her new job. She is part of the security team at Phoenix Parks. Norma is a 17-year-old girl who loves everything about Pauline Phoenix. She can get very nervous around other people. Sometimes, she has panic attacks when things get too much.

Meeting Courtney and the Demon King

Barney and Norma walk into the Haunted House. Inside, they meet Courtney, a demon. She pretends to be part of the attraction. Courtney is taking orders from Temeluchus. He is a powerful demon from the royal family. Temeluchus needs a body to interact with the world. He tells Courtney to bring him Barney.

Barney's dog, Pugsley, figures out the plan. He jumps in front of Barney. Pugsley ends up getting possessed by Temeluchus instead of Barney. The possessed Pugsley then flies to an attraction in Camelot Creek. He wants to claim a special throne there.

Saving Pugsley

Barney is scared that Pugsley might get hurt. He quickly goes to the Camelot Creek attraction. Norma follows him, even though she has some doubts. Norma remembers an old Pauline Phoenix film. In the film, a demon's soul is captured by taking a photograph.

When they get to Camelot Creek, Norma turns on the attraction. Barney jumps into a boat. He wants Temeluchus (who is inside Pugsley) to follow him. Barney tries to trick the demon. He offers his own body as a vessel instead of Pugsley's. The plan seems to work at first.

But then, Temeluchus realizes their trick. He uses magic to turn the camera away. Norma quickly turns the camera back. They manage to capture the demon's soul in a photograph. Then, they head back to the Haunted House.

Pugsley's New Powers

Back at the Haunted House, Barney and Norma give the photo to Courtney. Courtney is sad because Temeluchus promised to send her home. But she is also happy to stop taking his orders. Courtney then realizes that a part of Temeluchus is missing from the photo.

Pugsley still has a bit of Temeluchus inside him. Because of this, Pugsley gains new abilities. He can now talk, use magic, and easily walk on two legs.

Many more secrets and mysteries are hidden at Phoenix Parks. Will Barney, Norma, Pugsley, and Courtney survive all the strange things they will face?
