{{spoiler}}
 
It's [[Halloween]] at the House of Mouse, and there's a lot of villains showing up tonight (or so Minnie claims). But [[Jafar (Disney character)|Jafar]] has a trick in store for the usual gang, but the villains have to wait until midnight, which is when he will unleash his trick.

* Anders And - Dick Kaysø
After a series of cartoons, [[Jafar (Disney character)|Jafar]], along with [[Captain Hook]], [[Cruella de Vil]], [[Ursula (The Little Mermaid)|Ursula]], and [[Hades (Disney)|Hades]] take over the house by way of a musical number, and all the other villains in the house join in. In the process they trap most of the heroes in the kitchen, throw Mickey and the others out into the street, and change the House's name to the House of Villains, hence the movie's title. (In spite of the name change, though, the only few differences are darker lighting and mist hovering on the ground.)

Mickey and the rest in turn try to return things to normal, but the villains keep throwing them out. Afterwards, Mickey dresses in his famous sorcerer outfit from ''[[Fantasia (film)|Fantasia]]'' and challenges Jafar to a magical duel. Mickey loses, but then [[Aladdin]] saves the day by escaping the kitchen and giving Mickey the lamp with which to trap Jafar (due to an animator's goof, it actually resembles [[Genie (Disney)|Genie]]'s lamp rather than Jafar's). Mickey sucks Jafar into said lamp, while the rest of the villains flee like cowards, restoring the House to normal.

Like the show, the film shows several Disney cartoons. In fact, these shorts make up more of the movie than the actual plot with the villains. However, all their title cards are edited out.

Among them, three of the shorts are classic ones:

The leaves blow in the wind as the camera pans through trees as the movie title is shown. The camera continues going downward, until the House of Mouse is seen.
   
  +
Piglet, Captain Hook, Bambi, the Hag, Pete, Big Bad Wolf, Hades, Maleficent, and several others walk down the road, and are let inside by Max. He watches them enter as the sound of a thunder crash is ahead. Max turns to see the Cave of Wonders has appeared in front of the club, having seemingly burst from the ground. Jafar exits and leaves the golden scarab (which is supposed to make up the Cave's eyes) with Max, wishing him a happy Halloween. Max is left dumbfounded as he eyes the scarab as a car alarm chirps.

Inside the lobby, Donald looks in the Magic Mirror, admiring his devil costume; as it's Halloween, he's hoping to scare someone. Daisy overhears him and tells him on the "scream-o-meter" he's barely a squeal. Goofy then tells Donald that Daisy is right; he's not going to scare someone dressed up as a big red bunny (as Goofy mistakenly believes). He then tries all night to scare someone, as a side gag.
The other five shorts were all originally broadcast on ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' in [[1999]].
 
   
  +
All of Donald's attempts backfire on him; (these happen at separate times after a cartoon is shown) he tries scaring Beast (very bad idea) and gets roared at, getting scared himself. He next tries to sneak up on the Fates. However, the short one points their eye at him, showing they know what he's up to. Donald's last attempt is to scare the Queen, who changes into her Hag form and scares him. Donald is left depressed, as he cannot scare someone.

Backstage, Minnie takes notice to the large group of villains in the audience (Chernabog, Professor Ratigan, Fidget, Claude Frollo, Lady Tremaine, the Wicked Queen, and Maleficent specifically) and tries to make Mickey worry that they may be up to something. However, Mickey assures Minnie that they have so many villains as guests at the club tonight because it's Halloween at the House of Mouse; he believes that they won't be up to any tricks.
==Trivia==
 
   
  +
While waiting for Mickey to start the Halloween festivities, Cruella De Vil complains to her fellow villains every year on Halloween night only has treats and no tricks at the House of Mouse, claiming that if she ran it, things would be very different. Ursula asks if she'd add a "splash" of evil while Captain Hook thinks it would be pillage and plundering. Iago complains that all the villains do is talk, thus making them dull. Jafar, however, decides to end that and tells them that he has "a trick for Mickey Mouse", but they will have to wait until midnight; his cohorts are enticed by this and now eagerly await his plot's unfolding. Mike introduces Mickey (in a vampire costume), who tells the crowd some jokes before starting the cartoons. The first cartoon involves Huey Dewey and Louie going trick or treating when Donald plays a mean trick on them and the boys seek revenge on him with the help of Witch Hazel. The next cartoon involves Mickey's house being ragged and broken all the time. He is fed up! So he finds a new house. It is brand new, just right for our mouse. It's all automatic from the tub to the phone, but Mickey finds out this house isn't home. The third cartoon has the Narrator showing Goofy how to haunt a house. The forth cartoon has 4 ghosts being bored because they have nobody around to scare, decide to prank Mickey Donald and Goofy. The fifth and final cartoon involves the Goofy Fairies coming out to close all the flowers as they do every night.

After five cartoons, Iago wonders how much longer it will be until Jafar's trick, which Jafar assures him it will be after the next cartoon is over.

While Mickey is taking bows onstage, Ursula grabs Minnie with her tentacle to keep her quiet. Jafar apologizes but explains they don't want to be dull villains on Halloween. He then cues Captain Hook, who cues Cruella to turn off the power ("Lights out!") as Mickey announces to the crowd that it's time for a change of pace.

Jafar is then backed up by Ursula, Hades, and Chernabog. Intimidated by the large demon, Mickey and his friends are thrown out as Jafar starts the next cartoon, calling "especially that scaredy duck Donald" are about to get a real fright. (The cartoon has Donald stealing Halloween candy from his nephews who get revenge on him; Goofy also gets his holidays mixed up, thinking it's either Christmas or Easter)

As Minnie counts down, Jafar motions for help and Captain Hook picks Minnie up and tosses her out as Jafar makes a pun about the next cartoon being a real scream; Minnie screams as he says this.
* This film is not to be confused with the series episode "Pete's House of Villains".
 
* Animation at the beginning of the film (the sequence of Mickey's Halloween jokes) is recycled from the series episode "House Ghosts".
 
* The human boy who appears in the "Dance of the Goofys" segment bares a strange resemblance to [[Loud Kiddington]] from [[Warner Bros.]]' ''[[Histeria!]]''
 
* '''Goof:''' Captain Hook grabs Mickey by the collar at the beginning of the song, but when he sings the line "Every guest gets to the point!", Mickey is nowhere to be seen.
 
* Shortly before the battle between Mickey and Jafar, a sequence shows all of the villains slowly looking over to Mickey's location. This mimics the Rite of Spring segment in ''Fantasia'', where all of the dinosaurs look towards one direction to see the T-Rex.

Plot 

The leaves blow in the wind as the camera pans through trees as the movie title is shown. The camera continues going downward, until the House of Mouse is seen.

Piglet, Captain Hook, Bambi, the Hag, Pete, Big Bad Wolf, Hades, Maleficent, and several others walk down the road, and are let inside by Max. He watches them enter as the sound of a thunder crash is ahead. Max turns to see the Cave of Wonders has appeared in front of the club, having seemingly burst from the ground. Jafar exits and leaves the golden scarab (which is supposed to make up the Cave's eyes) with Max, wishing him a happy Halloween. Max is left dumbfounded as he eyes the scarab as a car alarm chirps.

Inside the lobby, Donald looks in the Magic Mirror, admiring his devil costume; as it's Halloween, he's hoping to scare someone. Daisy overhears him and tells him on the "scream-o-meter" he's barely a squeal. Goofy then tells Donald that Daisy is right; he's not going to scare someone dressed up as a big red bunny (as Goofy mistakenly believes). He then tries all night to scare someone, as a side gag.

All of Donald's attempts backfire on him; (these happen at separate times after a cartoon is shown) he tries scaring Beast (very bad idea) and gets roared at, getting scared himself. He next tries to sneak up on the Fates. However, the short one points their eye at him, showing they know what he's up to. Donald's last attempt is to scare the Queen, who changes into her Hag form and scares him. Donald is left depressed, as he cannot scare someone.

Backstage, Minnie takes notice to the large group of villains in the audience (Chernabog, Professor Ratigan, Fidget, Claude Frollo, Lady Tremaine, the Wicked Queen, and Maleficent specifically) and tries to make Mickey worry that they may be up to something. However, Mickey assures Minnie that they have so many villains as guests at the club tonight because it's Halloween at the House of Mouse; he believes that they won't be up to any tricks.

While waiting for Mickey to start the Halloween festivities, Cruella De Vil complains to her fellow villains every year on Halloween night only has treats and no tricks at the House of Mouse, claiming that if she ran it, things would be very different. Ursula asks if she'd add a "splash" of evil while Captain Hook thinks it would be pillage and plundering. Iago complains that all the villains do is talk, thus making them dull. Jafar, however, decides to end that and tells them that he has "a trick for Mickey Mouse", but they will have to wait until midnight; his cohorts are enticed by this and now eagerly await his plot's unfolding. Mike introduces Mickey (in a vampire costume), who tells the crowd some jokes before starting the cartoons. The first cartoon involves Huey Dewey and Louie going trick or treating when Donald plays a mean trick on them and the boys seek revenge on him with the help of Witch Hazel. The next cartoon involves Mickey's house being ragged and broken all the time. He is fed up! So he finds a new house. It is brand new, just right for our mouse. It's all automatic from the tub to the phone, but Mickey finds out this house isn't home. The third cartoon has the Narrator showing Goofy how to haunt a house. The forth cartoon has 4 ghosts being bored because they have nobody around to scare, decide to prank Mickey Donald and Goofy. The fifth and final cartoon involves the Goofy Fairies coming out to close all the flowers as they do every night.

After five cartoons, Iago wonders how much longer it will be until Jafar's trick, which Jafar assures him it will be after the next cartoon is over.
