The Frighteners

Scare: Quality: Story: Overall:
Frank Banister was a contractor until he destroyed his dream home. He also destroyed everything else he held dear when he drove drunk and ended up driving off of the road and into some trees. People say that after you experience a something very traumatic you begin to see things. Frank can now see spirits, the paranormal. This is his new profession too. He lives in his unfinished house with three friends who are dead and one dead dog. As a group they haunt houses and then Frank goes in and "exorcises" them. Quite the con-man. Years ago, a mass murder was committed in the local sanitarium. The murder was done by the daughter of the hospital director and her boyfriend. They killed twelve people, until they were caught. The boyfriend was put in the electric chair, and the daughter was put in permanent house arrest. They carved the number of the person killed into their foreheads. Well, let's just say their killing spree didn't seem to stop, and now Frank is the only person (other then the dead) that can stop them.
