When young Billy's parents forgot his thirteenth 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 the grisly birthday present 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 unsuspecting victims to the house with the help of his nightmarish offspring, the ones he calls the "spookies"...

With award-winning visual effects and a vein of humor as black and grotesque as the dreaded muck-men "Spookies" is a most worthy addition to any collection of cult videos.
