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.
