A horror-comedy about grave-robbing drama students who accidentally resurrect a vengeful horror star through black magic, balancing campy fun with genuine supernatural menace.

Drama students decide to pay tribute to their favorite horror star by stealing his body from his crypt for a farewell party. They fail to realize their violation of the tomb has triggered powerful black magic, and Conrad hasn't taken his final bows yet.
