Attack of the Ballistic Blanket (Screaming Sands): 2

Welcome to Screaming Sands, the ghastliest ghost town in the world! It's bad enough that Tom has to spend his weekend minding his dad's dodgy DIY shop, but then a crazy-looking customer brings in a broken electric blanket ... that turns out to be a flying carpet with a mind of its own. The blanket promptly kidnaps Tom and whisks him off to a nearby lighthouse - but the weirdness doesn't stop there. The lighthouse is a prison for souls, captured by mad witch Pallidia, and the only way to stop her involves changing the course of history. The fate of thousands of souls lies on the shoulders of Tom and local girl Ruby - Tom had better hope his DIY skills are up to the job...
