Plot
A group of teenage girls spend the night in an old house. On the night of their arrival, a strange man arrives at the house, delivering an old book. Once he is gone, the girls examine the book, finding it full of sketches of bizarre monsters.
When an incantation in the book is read, one of the drawing emerges from the book and becomes a living cartoon who takes one of the girls's form after raping her. The monster begins slaying the occupants of the house, including her boyfriend and two of the girls. Megan (the only surviving girl) and Gideon Fisk (the man who delivered the book) burn the book, destroying the demon. The film ends as Gideon leaves, and everyone comes back to life, Megan screams in terror when Mr. Hinchlow (the neighbor) comes by and brings a portable television so that the group of girls can watch Saturday morning cartoons.
