One Halloween night, a boy named Tanner gets dared to enter the abandoned house at the end of his street. Not wanting to seem like a chicken, he accepts the dare and enters the house. As he takes his own little tour of the house, he doesn't see anything strange about the place, even though it's said to be haunted and filled with skulls. All Tanner sees is cobwebs and furniture that had been left behind by the last owners. But as Tanner is about to leave the house, he notices a small hallway and, not wanting to leave anything out, he heads down it to find stairs leading to the basement. Walking down the steps, Tanner expects to find nothing but more cobwebs and maybe some old boxes. However, when he reaches the bottom of the steps, a shiver goes down his spine as he stares at a scene that makes his hair stand on end.
