Summary:
Sally and Alex Farnham (Kim Darby, Jim Hutton) have inherited a lovely old Victorian home that harbors a deadly secret. In the bowels of a closed-off room lurks a horde of hideously evil creatures, just waiting for a chance to get out--to claim their next victim. Curiosity gets the best of Sally and she unlocks a forbidden door in the downstairs study. Suddenly violent poltergeists are able to roam the house in the dark--and their target is their liberator.
