Synopsis

Chris, a London youth, throws a party, and Richard, one of the guests, suggests that they visit a haunted house that was the scene of several brutal murders. The group arrives at the house and attempts to conjure up ghosts by means of a seance. When this fails, they split up and explore the house. They come upon the brutally murdered body of one of their group, and Chris warns his friends not to tell the police, who already suspect them of narcotics violations. After disposing of the body, they leave the house. Wainwright, an inquisitive police inspector, begins questioning the group about their friend's disappearance, and Chris realizes that they must return to the house to search for clues. After another member of the group is found hacked to death, Chris finds himself alone with Richard, who pulls a knife and murders him only moments before the police arrive.
