Nix of ‘Demon of Serling’), then a group of contest winners get more than they bargained for in a haunted house in “The Witch’s Curse” (Dustin Ferguson of ‘Apex Preadator’) and finally a scary attraction employee becomes something really scary after being bitten by a werewolf in “Moonlight Massacre” (Ryan Sheets of ‘The Pumpkin Man’).
