Plot

It is Halloween in Pitchford Cove, and Phil, Mary, Mitch, Vinnie (Burton), and Melissa (Belafonte) are planning on making it a night they will never forget. When the five teenagers plan on stealing outfits from the towns historic museum, they come upon other old artifacts, including an old trunk containing an ancient curse. Once Melissa recites the curse, things take a turn for the worse. As the remaining four enjoy themselves at their annual Halloween party, Phil encounters a mysterious girl named Sandy. Once the 2 realize that the town is being overrun by the living dead, it's up to them to restore the town to normal before it's too late.
