[edit] Plot
The town of Dark Falls holds a mysterious secret: those who live there have been transformed into the undead, who require fresh blood to sustain their existence. As such, they lure new families into the neighborhood, always to the same house: the "Dead House." Upon sending the undead townspeople back to their graves, Amanda and Josh rescue their parents and leave Dark Falls. However, it is implied that there are more members of the undead who eluded them, leaving the story open to a sequel.
