Plot
Stooge, Helen, and Roger are driving to a party thrown by outcast Angela Franklin and her friend Suzanne at Hull House, an local mortuary that was abandoned. The car passes by an elderly man. Once alone the elderly man shows that he is carrying apples and razor blades.
Judy returns home and discovers that her boyfriend Jay wants to attend Angela's party. She hesitates briefly, but agrees to attend. Jay, Max, and Frannie pick her up. Judy and her friends arrive at Hull House, where Max, one of the party goers tells Judy the legend of Hull House. The house is rumored to be cursed, with the evil spirits inside contained only by an underground stream that surrounds the building. During the party Judy tries and fails to light some candles with a nearly empty lighter.
The party stops when the radio's battery power dies, prompting Angela to hold a séance as a party game. Helen sees a demon's face and her dead body in the mirror, which causes the mirror to fall and shatter. This prompts a demon to come out of a furnace in the crematorium and possess Suzanne. Everyone experiences multiple scents in the room. Helen states that she wants to leave, a sentiment that is echoed by Roger and the two are given Angela's car keys. Jay and Judy wander off with some of the other party goers to explore the house.
The now-possessed Suzanne leaves with one of the male partiers, Stooge, but not before kissing Angela and passing the demon along to her. This leaves Sal and Angela alone. Meanwhile Jay and Judy have split from Max and Frannie, where Judy discovers that Jay only invited her to the party in order to have sex with her. She refuses him and is abandoned by him in one of the rooms. During this time Roger and Helen are unable to discover the exit. The two of them argue and Helen leaves Roger in the car, after which she is killed by an unknown demon. He is later frightened out of the car after he sees Helen's body hit the car's windshield.
Stooge wanders off to find a bathroom with Suzanne and is irritated when she locks him out. Inside the bathroom Suzanne ages and disappears into a mirror. Confused at her disappearance, Stooge goes back to the main room to find Suzanne. He is warned by Sal that she is acting erratically, who then leaves them alone. Stooge ignores Sal's warning and is promptly killed by Suzanne. The party goers are then picked off one by one by the increasing number of demon possessed people, Jay dying during a sexual encounter with Suzanne and Max and Frannie by a now-possessed Stooge.
Roger and Sal run into each other and agree that something wrong is going on. The two try to find a way out and in the process, discover Judy in the room Sal left her in. The three attempt to escape the demons and Sal is later killed after he falls off a roof and lands on a spike. Judy and Roger continue to run from the demons and end up in the mortuary's crematorium, where they use the antiquated gas system to keep the demons at bay. With the demons temporarily subdued, the two attempt to escape and are instead chased by various demons throughout the house. They manage to make it out of the house to the brick walls surrounding the property. Roger manages to climb over the brick wall using the barb wire hanging from it, but Judy is initially unsuccessful and is almost captured by the demons before she is rescued by Roger. The two make it over the wall just in time to see the sun rise and banish the demons back to Hell.
Roger and Judy slowly walk home, passing by the elderly man that had been harassed earlier in the film. The elderly man scowls at them and then goes into his house where he begins to eat one of his wife's home-made apple pies that she made with the apples into which he had stuck razor blades. The razor blades begin cutting through his throat as they kill him. The woman kisses his head and says "Happy Halloween dear" while sipping on her coffee.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobodys previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
—Robert Lowell (19171977)
