Director's Cut

When Julie finds out that she has to shoot a short film for one of her college classes she freaks out. She knows pretty much nothing about making a movie and doesn’t know what she is going to do until her friend Ivy comes to her aid. Ivy’s boyfriend is a film student and says that he will help her with her film project as long as she is willing to do a horror film. Julie agrees and after getting a cast and crew together they head out of town to film the movie at a classmate’s house. What they don’t know is that the house is supposedly haunted, and before long members of the cast and crew start dying at the hands of a mysterious killer who enjoys dispatching his victims in a variety of painful and horrible ways. It the brutal murderer a ghost, some deranged lunatic, or is he part of something a lot more sinister? As the dead bodies begin piling up it becomes clear that Julie’s first film may also be her last… If you are a fan of the classic slasher flicks from the 1980's then this book is for you!
