71
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.759
Matilda is so desperate for any kind
of acting job that she takes a position

72
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.839
as a scalped woman in a Haunted
attraction. As she's introduced to the wide

73
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.680
variety of weird and wonderful characters that
populated the Haunt world, a costumed killer

74
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.600
picks off cast members one by one, bringing the injuries they fake at the

75
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.720
Haunt into gory reality. On Halloween
Night, the killer unleashes a whirlwind of

76
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.480
violence on anyone visiting the Haunt,
bringing the terrifying sacrifice origins of all Hello's

77
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.879
Eve into the modern day. It's
up to Matilda and her new friends to
