Bored with trick-or-treating, three friends venture into the woods on Halloween night to hunt for the haunted McBride house in this spine-tingling horror story from Phil Hickes.

After two young children died there in a fire a hundred years ago, the McBride House has taken on a kind of macabre, legendary status in the small town of Column Falls, Orgeon. In search of thrills on Halloween, Cody persuades his friends Duri and Sean that, instead of trick or treating, this year they will head into the woods to hunt down the ruins, but they have no idea of the danger that awaits them. When they find the McBride House, it appears at first that someone else has got there before them and is trying to scare them.

But the truth of what is happening on this eerie Halloween night is more terrifying than the three teenagers could ever have imagined …
