“Wealthy college
student Richard Sachs arranges a web broadcast contest originating from a local
haunted house. He entices three young couples to spend Halloween night in the
abandoned dwelling by offering $5,000 in prize money. The last owner of the
house was deranged killer Sean McIntyre, who murdered his entire family 20 years
prior on Thanksgiving Day before hanging himself. McIntyre was an amateur
mountain climber who used his grappling hook to gruesome effect during his
murder spree; we learn that his descent into madness began when he killed what
he believed was a Yeti on a trek up the Himalayas. “Richard has mini-video
cameras situated throughout the McIntyre house to capture the happenings for his
Internet broadcast,” O’Hara continues. “When subscriptions for the show lag, he
hires a porn star to take the place of one of the contestants. The participants
include two college football players, their girlfriends and a geeky student who
is paired with the amorous Velvet Luv, the hired porn star. The two football
players are destined to clash over a simmering feud concerning team spirit. The
evening starts off with a group séance where the spirit of Sean McIntyre is
contacted and, unbeknownst to the youths, brought back from the other side. As
the kids split up and follow clues given them under the rules of the contest,
they are systematically slaughtered by McIntyre. Eventually, the kids realize
they are being stalked and the survivors must make a final stand in the attic.
