The movie begins

After their car breaks down, a group of travelers finds themselves stranded in a remote part of New England. After taking shelter in a spooky old mansion, complete with a graveyard, they discover a ouija board and decide to spend the night attempting to summon some spirits. But the group soon learns that playing with the forces of black magic isn’t fun and games, and it’s not long before they’re head-to-head with all sorts of demonic creatures, shapeshifters, and other forms of evil, all of whom are more than happy to pick them off in the most gruesome of ways.

Directed by Brendan Faulkner, Thomas Doran, and Eugenie Joseph SPOOKIES was produced by Brendan Faulkner, Thomas Doran, Frank Farel, and Eugenie Joseph from a screenplay written by Thomas Doran, Brendan Faulkner, Frank Farel, and Ann Burgund.
