A bitter brew of witchcraft and vengeance. Newlyweds, Daniel and Paige Stanford move into the scenically decaying mansion that was Daniel"s childhood home. They have barely begun to unpack when a diseased and half-blind old woman turns up on their doorstep. Soon enough the house is in chaos--broken clocks chiming in the dead of night; a mysterious red-headed girl appearing at odd moments; not to mention the strange transformations in the attic suite that was built to spec from The Masque of the Red Death. There is also the small matter of a series of murders of ginger-haired girls, their faces disfigured by red sores. They must find out who the old woman really is and what she knows about the horrific killings. Paige learns the old woman"s secrets and about the terrible hold she has on Daniel.
