Dave is spending his final summer before college working at Frightmares House of Horrors, a struggling haunted house attraction held together by malfunctioning killer clown mannequins, a cheap replica Annabelle doll, and a lot of improvising.
After a particularly disastrous shift ends in an employee walkout, Dave reluctantly takes over a role for his friend, however, he makes a horrifying discovery—a real dead body, hidden on set. But when Dave returns with help, the body is gone.
Though the killer covered their tracks, Dave realizes they must know what he saw. Could he be their next target?

My Review: I was hopeful for this one but sadly it was not for me. The swearing was a little much and over the top for my taste. I also wished that this would have more of a paranormal vs a murder story. I think it would have worked out a lot better. But that being said I mean this just was not for me. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be so that was a let down.
