When young Billy's parents forgot his 13th birthday, he runs away from home. Soon he becomes lost in the woods, pursued by nameless things that propel him towards an old mansion, and that grisly birthday that awaits him there. Meanwhile, a group of teenagers are driving around the woods looking for a place to party when they come across the old mansion. One by one, they too fall prey to Billy's killer, an evil sorcerer who lures his nightmarish offspring, the ones he calls the 'Spookies'...

With award-winning visual effect and a vein of humour as black and grotesque as the dreaded muck-men, 'Spookies' is a most worthy addition to any collection of cult videos.
