Ghosts of Christmas Past Written by: Margaret McCarley
A reluctant stepmother must save her new kids from the malevolent spirits in the haunted Christmas house next door. Inspired by actual events. Decades after the gruesome Christmas 1956 murder of a family, a woman moves in next door to the murder scene along with her new husband and two hateful stepchildren. The stepchildren soon become friends with two kids from the neighborhood…the two children who were murdered next door almost sixty years earlier. When these ghosts lure the stepkids in to their yuletide freak show fun house, the reluctant stepmother is forced to battle the evil, vengeful ghouls to save her family.
The Inn final Written by: Josh Lee
Unknowing criminals run afoul of the law to an inn run by malevolent witches.

A young girl is captured and held hostage by a ghoul who reveals himself to be her father haunted by his mental illness.
Mindseye Written by: Paul Bianchi
