Starring Shayne Dahl Lamas and Robert Carradine Synopsis - Justin works at a bowling alley while studying to be a special effects artist. After hours, he and two buddies invite three young girls to go "strip bowling." Suddenly, Justin scares everyone with his horrific jokes. Unbeknownst to the partying kids, they are discreetly observed with disdain by Hal, the pin-setter mechanic and a former priest, and Zeke, the security guard and a devil worshiper. Problems arise the next time Justin and his pals lure three girls into their “scare” routine on the 13th alley. Suddenly, the joke is no joke and everyone runs to escape, but all exits have been boarded up! Who is trying to kill them? Hal? Zeke? Or an evil spirit? 3 Below Starring Ernest Borgnine Synopsis - Academy Award Winner Ernest Borgnine is the mastermind behind this suspenseful murder-mystery, based on a true story about a peaceful Vermont farming valley that was flooded to create a luxurious lake resort. One evicted farmer, whose mother and ancestors were buried in their 250 year old back yard cemetery, warned of the terror that would one day strike the three greedy perpetrators -- a land baroness, billionaire banker, unscrupulous politician. Ten years later, a blizzard strands the 3 perpetrators and several other characters at nearby Ramage House, an eerie 28-room mansion built in the 1800's. During the stormy night, retaliatory spirits are awoken by the three greedy mongers. But who is exacting revenge? |
