What The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door is

Suburban cul-de-sac. Perpetual afternoon. Lawn sprinklers hissing. A certain spectral scythe, some unlucky trousers, a plea for help. Kids Next Door answer the call, only to face the wrath of Mandy, the Delightful Children, and a ghastly fusion neither side expects. Cartoon Network mashups rarely felt this demented.
