Things are different for Matthew Flynn, who doesn’t celebrate and enjoy the holiday and is forced to tag along with his pals for hours of scares and celebrating the night with horror movies and costume parties. But little do the party goers know when the Emergency Alert System advises citizens to remain indoors they make the grave mistake of letting in a colony of bats that transform into bloodsucking vampires, preying upon everybody and forcing Matt and his friends to escape. But what lies outside of the party turns into a fight for survival with the undead walking the earth, werewolves howling at the blood moon, and witchcraft falling into play. Comparison Pitch: The Blair Witch Project meets Night of the Living Dead meets The Lost Boys meets The Evil Dead meets Dog Soldiers.
