Synopsis
On May Day 1998, in Dunwich, Massachusetts, Elizabeth gathers together a group of specially selected friends for a rather odd party. It turns out that she is the descendant of a malevolent witch named Lilith who was burned at the stake precisely three hundred years ago. Now Elizabeth hopes to resurrect her dreadful ancestor and has a specific (and murderous) need for the guests she has chosen.
Neal Marshall Stevens wrote the original script under the pseudonym Benjamin Carr for Full Moon Entertainment.[4][5] The studio rejected Stevens' screenplay in favor for a film more akin to Night of the Demons, but would later repurpose it for the 2001 film Stitches.[6]
