A playful, spooky adventure that balances genuine creepiness with humor and heart, centered on three kids confronting a haunted house and discovering its tragic backstory.

Monsters under the bed are scary enough, but what happens when an entire house is out to get you? Three teens aim to find out when they go up against a decrepit neighboring home and unlock its frightening secrets.
