The Haunting of Chip Lake Lodge

Four high school seniors, Amy, Jennifer, Stephanie and Justin, arrive at a country lodge for their prom. But things go askew from the start. They show up at the wrong lodge, their car won't start, the phone goes dead, and disco music plays inexplicably. The lodge is haunted!

The teens are unwillingly drawn into a slightly deranged plot to free the spirit from the curse of Chip Lake. If only Justin can overcome his fear of giant rats, they may be able to save the day.

It all leads to a bizarre prom night no one will forget!
