nec�ro�pho�bi�a, noun:
1.) an abnormal fear of death
2.) an exaggerated horror of dead bodies.
3.) a dark tale of one man struck with a crippling phobia of death, and one woman caught in a downward spiral as she refuses to live.

Sometime in the early eighties, six-year-old Jerrod experiences gut-wrenching tragedy and is subsequently haunted by relentless nightmares in which seven shadowy warriors track him through the blood red world of the dead, chasing him toward a ferocious hooded creature: a terrifying harbinger of death... The Shadow's Hand.

Years later, a private detective surveys a grisly murder scene in which a head has been severed and the body left to rot in a bathtub: the work of a psychotic murderer known as the �Angel of Death"... a.k.a. "The Reaper".

Jerrod (Jude Hickey), now in his mid twenties and down on his luck, hitchhikes across a lonesome Texas highway until he comes upon a �help wanted� sign for a suspicious looking roadside haunted house. Jerrod soon begins to suspect that the attractions locked up in the still-under-construction basement area of the haunted house, known as Necrophobia: Museum of the Demented and the Damned, may be something far more dangerous than plastic skeletons in rubber chains.

Lisa (Christin Sawyer Davis) is a tortured soul whose young nephew Gregory (Jasen Blum) has vanished somewhere within the enormous ScreamWorld, and is on a mission to locate him (dead or alive!)

As the crowd outside grows and the metal band Revolution (Houston, TX) rocks the stage, a van load of radio station deejays pulls up for a live remote broadcast from within the haunted house. Morning deejays �Melvin & Johnson� (Jeremy Wasson, David Maldonado) are joined by Randy Rage (�Bunny�), Sandra Storm (Melissa Bubela), Robbie, a.k.a. "Loco Bob" (Nick Ronan), news girl Jesse Chase (Morgan McCarthy), program manager Miranda Shelly (Jalene Mack), and stoner duo Kraig (James Cunningham) and Stew (Alex Munoz).

It is an hour into the live broadcast� Jerrod searches the shadows for faulty wiring... Lisa calls for her nephew... tensions rise to a fever pitch with the deejays... arguing ensues... drunken passion... drugs... And with the drop of a rusty blade, a single head rolls across the metal floor and drops into the open hatch of the Gimp Pit.

The Angel of Death is among us.

Before the night is done, blood will fly, heads will roll, and Griffin�s museum of tormented sideshow freaks will be unleashed upon the terrified customers. Jerrod, Lisa, a handful of drunken deejays, and a group of panicked teenage customers lost in the depths of the haunted house will have to avoid a deadly black-gloved slasher, the twirling blades and flesh ripping hooks of carnival freaks like Chopper the Wayward Lumberjack, The Fisherman, The Voodoo Queen, Jojo the Werewolf, Vampirita, the Headless Woman, Inside-Out Man, Squidboy, Bo Jack, and the scheming of ScreamWorld owner B.D. Griffin (Leon Blum) and his henchmen Buferd (Leo Wheeler) and Mr. Joad (Frank Page). Jerrod will be rocked by ground-shaking explosions, whirling bullets, and a horde of undead creatures in his quest to unlock the mystery of an ancient, cursed Egyptian amulet leading him back to the god of death himself, in order to end carnage, help Lisa rescue her nephew, and hopefully free himself from his own curse: NECROPHOBIA. In the end, the most terrifying challenge Jerrod will face will be his own destiny.

Necrophobia is a grindhouse-style, supernatural action/horror flick that will plaster you to the walls.
