Once each guest has arrived the spooky and off the wall host greets them and provides each with a .45 caliber pistol for protection. The caretakers are then to leave the mansion for the night and lock the gate and all doors locked, windows have bars and no contact such as phones are around for use. So once each guest has fully decided to stay on for the night they are locked in and are stuck for the entire night until the caretakers arrive back at dawn with no neighbors for miles.
The guests find out that a murder has taken place in almost every room in the mansion. Shortly after being in the mansion one of the guests, Nora is already seeing ghosts, ghouls and the ghost of Annabelle (Carol Ohmart) who hung herself during this party and could not take it anymore. Later we see more murder and hysteria occur while each guest slowly gets scared and falls into the trap of the haunted house.
