Four teens - Paul (Byron Thames), Paul's girlfriend Jodie (Ashley Laurence), Beverly (Tori Spelling), and Beverly's boyfriend, Matthew (Sasha Jenson) - break into an allegedly haunted house one night to play a peculiar game. The teens proceed to tell each other a ghost story; each person can make up part of the story, but only so long as a match burns.

Throughout their time in the house, the teens notice that their story actually comes true: when Paul mentions thunder, thunder rumbles; when he mentions the clock striking midnight, the clock in the house chimes. Things become deadly when the group accidentally conjure up the actual Herbert Waverly (Tom Woodruff Jr.), forcing the kids to finish the story before he kills them all.
